Martin Ritchie commented on QPID-2085:
--------------------------------------

Reason for change is that during an automated test runs with an external broker 
the broker will overwrite its previous configuration as the APPEND value is set 
to false.

As this change will configure the Qpid broker default to create an unbounded 
log file. An alternative would be change the default appender to be the 
QpidRollingFileAppender which is defined within the log4j configuration file. 

To maintain compatibility with other tools that may be configured to monitor 
the log file then the StaticLogFileName value should be set to 'true' this will 
ensure that the log file written to will be a static value e.g. qpid.log.

When the file is rolled over it will be moved and dated as per the 
configuration. e.g. qpid.log.2009-10-12-15-32.gz


> Broker Log4j configuration causes the specified log4j to be cleared on startup

> Set the default log4j.xml file for the broker to append to the existing log 
> file rather than overwritting it.
> Provide an easy mechanism to change the default rather than editing the log4j 
> file.
