Hi, thanks for the quick reply! I'll try to work out the properties-layout for the new rolling.RFA from the log4j sources. I did notice the examples with the API-calls, but I would really like to get it to work again with the properties-file.
Do I understand you correctly that the DailyRollingFileAppender should still work without any changes to the properties-file, even though it is itself defined using the new rolling.RFA? -----Original Message----- From: Curt Arnold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: dinsdag 2 augustus 2005 17:14 To: Log4CXX User Subject: Re: Should properties file be changed after v0.9.7?

Classic RFA not working wasn't a surprise. log4j's CVS HEAD has both org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender (for compatibility with log4j 1.2) and org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender (new and improved generic rolling framework), however the log4cxx class factory didn't anticipate multiple classes with the same name so it currently can only support one of the RFA's at a time). > Should I change the appender definitions in the properties file?

The property files are attempting to remain compatible with log4j CVS HEAD. In this case, I'd point you to the log4j documentation for the new RFA but its hasn't been done. The unit tests contain a couple of examples that configure RFA's but they do so using the API, not configuration files. The log4j unit tests have a few configuration files for RFA's, see logging-log4j/tests/input/rolling/filter1.xml and time1.xml for examples. I'll see if I can port the corresponding tests over the log4cxx shortly.
