SimpleLog4JLogSystem closes appenders

           Summary: SimpleLog4JLogSystem closes appenders
           Product: Velocity
           Version: 1.3-rc1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Source
        AssignedTo: velocity-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hugg@pobox.com


The SimpleLog4JLogSystem class closes all appenders in its shutdown() method, 
even if the appenders were not created by Velocity. This can cause problems if 
the logging system is initialized in your servlet, and if Velocity instances 
are finalized while other instances are in use -- since Log4J Categories are 
static :P

What should probably happen is a flag should be set so that appenders are only 
closed if they were created by the SimpleLog4JLogSystem class, and/or when all 
Velocity instances are GC'ed.
