Hi,
Take a look at the http://www.simonsite.org.uk/javadoc/org/apache/log4j/appender/TimeAndSizeRollingAppender.html.
Source is available in the JAR at http://www.simonsite.org.uk/resources/lib/log4j-rolling-appender.jar.
This appender does a similar thing to your custom appender by the sounds of it.
Simon

Subject: Custom Appender works fine with rootlogger, but not when logger specified
Hi,
I have written a custom appender that adds file rotation and zipping
of the rotated files. Some other custom functionality is added. What I
do is: when a file has reached a certain size, I close the file,
rename it and compress it. After the rename, I reset the file. The
renaming of the file is where it all goes wrong.
Everything works fine if I stick to using the rootLogger:
<Defining of our custom appender>
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, ddm
#THIS WORKS FINE
#log4j.logger.mylogger=INFO
#THIS DOES NOT WORK FINE. Note That we do not even write to this logger (class)
log4j.logger.be.package=INFO, mylogger
SO for some reason, using the line "log4j.logger.be.package=INFO,
mylogger" creates an object that prevents the rename from taking
place.
I have looked at the RollingFileAppender about closing the
file/writing to the stream, but as far as I can see, I do the same. I
could also rewrite my custom appender starting from the
RollingFileAppender, but that is something I want to prevent
Any help would be apreciated
Guy
