You are right. We should not have removed the api, and reviewing the api changes we have made is a task for the 1.3 beta. We should look at what is different and if we want to live with it, put it back, deprecated it, etc.

I believe that, yes, configureAndWatch could be implemented with the FileWatchdog. It will probably have slightly different behavior (like not allowing multiple watchers from multiple calls to the method), but I think it would be better behavior. Or we could leave it. The big deal breaker was that there was not way to shutdown the watcher in the web server environment. This would be fixed with the new plugin stuff.

Subject: RE: PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch


We can't remove the api without deprecating it 1st, so log4j 1.3 should
support the configureandwatch methods.

Is the plan to have domconfigurator.configureandwatch (and
propertyconfigurator?) leverage a watchdog?  I thought we had discussed
this before but don't see it in the mailing list archive.
