WORK AROUND A workaround for this is found from the Java forums. Look at the Thread : http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=38&th From this thread : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- My ugly hack was to lift the code out of the LogManager.readConfiguration() method and rework it to use the correct class loader. eg: public static void main(String[] args) { displayJavaVersion(); setupLoggging(); // rest of application } private static void setupLoggging() { // Under web start the property java.util.logging.config.class // is set only after the logging has been created. So we need // to force the logging manager to re-read its configuration. // This code is copied from the // LogonManager.readConfiguration() method, but the class loader // is changed to be the one on the current thread. See java bug // report 4452040 for more on this... String cname = System.getProperty("java.util.logging.config.class"); if (cname != null) { try { // Instantiate the named class. It its contructor's // repsonsibility to initialize the logging configuration, by // calling readConfiguration(InputStream) with a suitable // stream. Class clz = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(cname); clz.newInstance(); } catch (Exception ex) { System.err.println("Logging configuration class \"" + cname + "\" failed"); System.err.println("" + ex); } } } The downside of this is that under web start the default logging configuration get called with a class file not known to the system, so you always get an error message written to System.err. Outside of the web start environment, the class will be loaded twice. Further, if under web start, if you call LogManager.readConfiguration(), all your settings will vanish.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Based on this workaround we did modify the test case and it seems to work but is very crude and really would need a better solution. You can look at the files related to the workaround at: /net/warriors.sfbay/export/home4/shridhar/nortel/825503/new We see these exceptions still after using the workaround.

EVALUATION The java.util.logger.LogManager class has static initialization with: cname = System.getProperty("java.util.logging.manager"); Class clz = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().loadClass(cname); This pre-supposes the LogManager will be initialized by code loded on the SystemClassLoader, and the class refered to by the property "java.util.logging.manager" can be loaded by the SystemClassLoader. This will not work for browser plugin applets, Java Web Start applications, and any other coded loaded by any other class loader. I believe the code int LogManager should be: Class clz = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(cname); ###@###.### 2003-10-02 Use classloader fix and javadoc has been updated ###@###.### 2004-02-13
