Myrna van Lunteren commented on DERBY-6350:
-------------------------------------------
I agree - the derby.log file creation is not something that's under control of
the ErrorStreamTest, it is something related to our junit framework rather than
this feature.
I ran the engine._Suite (which includes the new test fixtures) with patch _7
applied, and it now indeed passes on my windows machine.
Further improvements can be done separately, (under separate JIRAs, like what
Mamta found for failure analysis of DERBY-6380), I think this feature is now
ready to go in.
+1 to commit.

> 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.
