DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
We need a way to remove Logger objects from the LogManager when they are no longer needed. There is no way to remove a Logger from LogManager and in reviewing the source code LogManager does not use weak references - it uses a simple Hashtable. Furthermore, the comment on LogManager.addLogger is misleading as it states that the implementation "may" use weak references.

We create numerous Logger objects on our server and we need a way to clean them out when a session used by that logger is terminated. Using separate Logger objects gives us the ability to have different logging levels for different
sessions. For example, if a user is having a problem I want to be ablt turn debugging on for their sesson and not all sessions on the server.
