You'd need to regenerate your JARs for sure, but if your build script is set up right that shouldn't be a huge problem. For example, the last project I did used Ant to assemble the JSPs, applets, etc. into a WAR file. We simply ran "ant deploy" to regenerate the WAR and redeployed it to the server. Ant was also used to sign the JARs before putting them into the WAR file. > What do you think about this though?...

You could probably do something like that, but it does seem a little clunky. Also, how would you pass the XML to Log4J? Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Log4J to know what might work best... :-( G
