Talking about loggers and NullPointerExceptions ... I get the following
stacktrace every time an application is re-deployed:
log4j:ERROR LogMananger.repositorySelector was null likely due to error
in class reloading, using NOPLoggerRepository.

I'm using Tomcat 5.5.25 (inside Eclipse) and the application uses
commons-logging + Log4j itself, therefore both jars are loaded from
WEB-INF/lib. Can anybody explain what's happening here and who's to
blame for this error?
Thanks a lot,

Hi,
as far as I know Tomcat's WebappClassloader sets final static
references to null upon re-deployments to prevent memory leaks. The
following page describes what's happening:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/Logging/StaticLog
One possible solution would be not to use static loggers.
Best regards,

Hi,
I sometime hotdeploy my war file to tomcat 6.0.16. I have noticed
that a static variable in one of my classes then ends up being null.
The variable is initialized as follows:
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);
and then used below in a method:
public void mymethod(String mystring) {
logger.info(mystring + " did something");
}
This is a little annoying as I then need to restart the server for
this class to work properly.
Is this a known bug? I could probably create a little sample war
file to demonstrate the issue but I don't want to go through that if
you guys already know about the issue.
Thanks,
Fu-Tung
