A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
LogManager.readConfiguration() does not properly adjust the level of some loggers.

If the config file specifies a level for a logger which hasn't been created in the application, children which already exist do not pick up the change.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
run the sample app below

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
fooBar.isLoggable(Level.FINE): false
fooBar.isLoggable(Level.FINE): true
fooBar.isLoggable(Level.FINE): true

ACTUAL -
fooBar.isLoggable(Level.FINE): false
fooBar.isLoggable(Level.FINE): false
fooBar.isLoggable(Level.FINE): true


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------

public class LogTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {

        printTest(); // prints "false" as expected

        String propString = "foo.level=FINE";
        byte[] propBytes = propString.getBytes();
        LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(new ByteArrayInputStream(propBytes));

        printTest(); // prints "false", incorrectly

        // this causes the foo.bar logger to realize that its level has changed.
        Logger.getLogger("foo");

        printTest(); // now prints "true"
    }

    private static void printTest() {
        Logger fooBar = Logger.getLogger("foo.bar");
        System.out.println("fooBar.isLoggable(Level.FINE): " + fooBar.isLoggable(Level.FINE));
    }
