Hi all,
I am trying to make use of RollingFileAppender.
My code is as follows:
LoggerPtr logger( Logger::getLogger("CustomLogger"));
RollingFileAppender *pAppender = new RollingFileAppender();
Instead use:
RollingFileAppenderPtr pAppender(new RollingFileAppender());
Otherwise, reference counts are likely to be mismanaged.
pAppender-
>setName( log4cxx::helpers::Transcoder::decode("TestAppender"));
pAppender-
>setFile( log4cxx::helpers::Transcoder::decode("TestLogFile.txt"));
pAppender->setAppend( true);
pAppender->setMaxBackupIndex( 5);
pAppender->setMaxFileSize( log4cxx::helpers::Transcoder::decode("5
KB"));
pAppender->setLayout( new
PatternLayout( log4cxx::helpers::Transcoder::decode("%d [%t] %-5p %c
- %l - %m%n")));
If an appender (also applies to layouts, etc) is created with the
default constructor, the activateOptions() method must be called after
the properties are set.
Pool p;
pAppender->activateOptions(p);
logger->addAppender( fAppender);
This code is giving the error as:
"No output stream or file set for the appender named TestAppender"
But, if I create the appender as:
RollingFileAppender *pAppender = new RollingFileAppender( new
PatternLayout( log4cxx::helpers::Transcoder::decode("%d %-5p %c - %l
- %m%n")),
log4cxx::helpers::Transcoder::decode("TestLogFile.txt"));
and I set the MaxBackupIndex and MaxFileSize as follows:
pAppender->setMaxBackupIndex( 5);
pAppender->setMaxFileSize( log4cxx::helpers::Transcoder::decode("5
KB"));
It works fine but, the new log file is not getting created after the
MaxFileSize (5 KB) is reached, the log messages are just getting
appended to same log file ().
When an constructor takes arguments, it has a call to
activateOptions() to make it ready for action upon construction.
However, any changes that occur after that point would need an call to
activateOptions() to ensure that the changes are reflected in the
behavior.
Please, suggest what is going wrong here.
Thanks & Regards,
