Hi, Ceki:
We set up appenders using static config. file thru PropertyConfigurator. This configuration is done thru MyLog class. Currently, we have only about a few appenders. My follow up questions should be: (1) If we don't close those appenders after each Event, what should we do? leave them open for the following events? (2) If we leave those appenders open, at the IO level, when do we close java.io.Writer, say if it is a file appender. Thanks very much - Tony Ceki Gülcü <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Log4J Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: 08/30/2002 10:05 Subject: Re: UNIX file handler problem used up on log4j log files AM Please respond to "Log4J Users List" That doesn't say anything about the way you attach appenders to loggers.
