J2SDK1.4 logging and reloading webapps

[Oliver Jonas <ol...@dialogue.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm making use of the java.util.logging package and extend Logger as shown:

import java.util.logging.*;

public class ClassLogger extends Logger {
 public ClassLogger(String name, String resourceBundleName) {
  super(name, resourceBundleName);
  if(!LogManager.getLogManager().addLogger(this)) {
      System.out.println("Failed to add logger: " + getName());
  }
 }

.
.
.

}

I use this logger in my classes using:

protected static ClassLogger logger = new ClassLogger("my name", null);

All this works fine until I reload the webapp using the Tomcat manager.
After that it fails adding the logger using addLogger and entries are not
logged anymore.

I assume the problems occur because on reloading Tomcat is using a new class
loader and because the logger is a static member it somehow doesn't update
the instance.

I've tried calling reset() on the LogManager instance but it doesn't help.

I'm using Tomcat 4.1.18.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.
