That's an interesting quote. I have to admit that I haven't read the Log4j manual and that's new to me. In Log4j, reconfigurations are genrally not destructive. They are cumulative. It sounds like the manual is claiming that the ROOT logger is an exception to the rule.

Have you tried this with Log4j-1.2.xx? Do you get the same results or do you get the behavior described in the manual? It's certainly possible that this contract was broken in 1.3.

Ceki, Curt, anyone, can you shed any light on this topic? What's the expected behavior? Is the manual right, wrong, or just being misinterpreted?

My initial take was the same as yours. The quote from "the manual" sounds incorrect but it is not in context. I assume that they mean Ceki's "The complete log4j manual", but the don't specify precisely what "manual" they are referencing and a detailed reference would be handy. I have an old beat up paperback copy, but didn't buy an electronic edition and the text may have been added in subsequent editions.
