Problem with propertyConfigurator's configureAndWatch() method

[ch...@kodak.com]

From: Chandra Swaminathan

I am using log4j version 1.1.3.  I have been experimenting with the
configureAndWatch() method of the propertyConfigurator to re-read the
configuration data at runtime.  So I have a program with 4 separate threads
logging messages continously after the appenders, categories and priorities
were configured initially using the configureAndWatch() method.  If I copy
a different configuration file on top of the one that I originally passed
to the program, reconfiguration works some times and does not work most
times.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  Below are the two config
files that I am using.  The only thing different about the 2 files is the
layout.ConversionPattern.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Chandra.
