          Appeal No. 2002-2297                                                        
          Application No. 08/980,585                                                  


          server program in response to client requests and potential log             
          data is passed to the logging modules.  Each logging module makes           
          its own decisions on log entries and recording formats, thereby             
          removing constraints on end users to given formats or sets of               
          logging criteria.                                                           
               Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and reads as                  
          follows:                                                                    
                    1.  A network server comprising:                                  
                    one or more data processors;                                      
                    a network server program that is executable by said one           
               or more data processors to receive and process data requests           
               from network clients; and                                              
                    the network server program being configurable by a                
               system administrator to provide log data to any one or more            
               of a plurality of executable logging modules designated by             
               the system administrator, wherein the executable logging               
               modules selectively log the log data in accordance with                
               different logging criteria.                                            
               The Examiner relies on the following prior art:
