[logback-dev] [JIRA] Commented: (LBCLASSIC-172) Use WeakHashMap instead of Hashtable in LoggerContext

[Joern Huxhorn (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-172?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=11450#action_11450 ] 

Joern Huxhorn commented on LBCLASSIC-172:
-----------------------------------------

What, exactly, is the difference between a Logger that is initially created and initialized when it is first requested (at a random time) using getLogger() and a Logger that is recreated after the previous one has been garbage collected?

Is anything beside LoggerContext working on Logger configuration?

I really don't see the problem, obviously...
