Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-6350:
----------------------------------------
Brett, I debugged through SingleStream.java and see if that in case of
IllegalArgumentException, we call useDefaultStream as you pointed out. But
useDefaultStream uses System.err to log the info.
return new BasicHeaderPrintWriter(System.err, header, false,
"System.err");
I wonder in this case, if we should be calling createDefaultStream which uses
derby.log. If we do use createDefaultStream. Once we have the HeaderPrintWriter
for derby.log, we can call printlnWithHeader to log the
IllegalArgumentException.
If we do make the above change, then I think we will need to check for
errStreamFile to be empty and derby.log to be not empty.
> Provide a rolling file implementation of derby.log

> By default, derby.log grows without bounds if the derby.infolog.append
> property is set to "true". Setting this to "true" helps in a hands off
> production environment to ensure that if Derby restarts, the derby.log which
> might contain important information is not lost. On the other hand, when set
> the "true" the derby.log grows without bounds. This is problematic in a long
> running system.
> What is really needed is the ability to have a rolling derby.log file support
> where the maximum file size and maximum number of files can be specified.
> Derby has the ability to configure the location of the log file (ie.
> derby.stream.error.file) and also two methods of redirecting the error stream
> (.ie derby.stream.error.method and derby.stream.error.field). There is no
> standard implementation that supports a rolling derby.log however.
> This facility should be part of the core Derby system so that it works in
> both embedded and network server models.
