Please review http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jgish/Bug7159567-set-MemoryHandler-target/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Ejgish/Bug7159567-set-MemoryHandler-target/>

Overview - currently you can sub-class java.util.logging.MemoryHandler and specify its configuration in a logging.properties file via the classname. For example, if com.foo.MyMemoryHandler extends MemoryHandler, you can have:

logging.properties:

com.foo.MyMemoryHandler.push=WARNING com.foo.MyMemoryHandler.level=FINEST .... etc.

However, the only way to specify target is by using the global property, java.util.logging.MemoryHandler.target. For example,

java.util.logging.MemoryHandler.target=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

This is clearly broken. This bug fix allows you to say:

com.foo.MyMemoryHandler.target=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

Thanks, Jim
