Emil Vladov commented on LOG4NET-158:
-------------------------------------
I've added comment to a similar cxx issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-166
but as it is closed not sure if anyone will read it :)
Basically the same never destroyed watcher causes access violations under Win32
as the watcher thread isn't stopped after the log4cxx DLL unloads.
> XMLConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch() leaks resources if called multiple times

> Key: LOG4NET-158
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-158
> Project: Log4net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Other
> Affects Versions: 1.2.10
> Environment: Windows Server 2003, Windows XP
> Reporter: Strategic Insurance Software
> Fix For: 1.2.11
>
> Attachments: Release_handles_in_ConfigureAndWatch.patch
>
>
> If XMLConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch() is called multiple times within an
> AppDomain, each time it is called it leaks a Win32 file handle (possibly
> from a FileSystemWatcher object not being disposed?) to the folder containing
> the previous configuration file it was watching.
> Desired behavior would be to release the handle to the folder containing the
> previous configuration file.
