Hi,
I am sorry to send this problem to developer mailing list but the thing is that this is a weird problem that i am having and it might be a bug about which i am not sure. I have a logging.properties file that looks something like whats shown below. What happens is that when it makes 20 back up files of agenda.log in the next run (i.e 21st) it wipes out all the 20 back up files of agenda.log and after that it dumps all messages in one file and keeps overwriting that file after it has reached the MaxFileSize. So now in the second run it does not even create a back up of agenda.log .Is there a property that i can set so that this does not happen or i can somehow control how back ups get created and stuff. Its a big problem for us as of now since we are putting a lot of things in the log files and we need to see the history. log4j.appender.AGENDA_Appender=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.AGENDA_Appender.File=agenda.log log4j.appender.AGENDA_Appender.Append=true log4j.appender.AGENDA_Appender.MaxFileSize=1000kb log4j.appender.AGENDA_Appender.MaxBackupIndex=20 Thanks in advance.
