I would prefer to keep it as it is.
The reason for this architecture is a single point of configuration and an
easy interface.
The logging architecture allows to place more than one LogableDevice into a
LogChannel, but the main idea was to place 2 different type of
LogableDevices into it, e.g. a LogDeviceFile and a LogDeviceMail. And in
this usecase there should normaly be the same information in the file as in
the mail.

But there is also an easy way to get what you want.
Yust implement your own "LogDeviceFile???.java" and make it configurable.
You can "name" this 2 different LogDeviceFile??? objects at construction and
they read their LogLevels out of a global (static) Property object, so you
could configure this two LogDeviceFile??? objects via parameter on startup
or via a configuration file.

Hope this solution is ok for you. If you have any further ideas how to
extend the function of the log package without breaking the interfaces and
keeping the usability as easy as possible please contact me.

Regars,
