As long as I'm posting questions.... I've got a server process, which services applets via RMI. The server (not the applets) uses Log4J. If I use an AsyncAppender, does anybody have any suggestions for where/how I could invoke Category.shutdown? I'm used to doing that when I use async to ensure that the queue gets flushed, etc. But in an RMI server process, main() actually exits, and the thread gets handed off to RMI via some reflection voodoo. Note that I don't really care about that - it's the concrete result that's nagging at me: it means that I've got no obvious place to do cleanup/shutdown, which is where I'd normally shutdown the AsyncAppender. Any ideas? Cheers, mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
