Hi! Don't know if ill be of some help but i think that tha actual stable version of log4j has a bug regarding the dailyrollingfile appender. Problem is that the rollover works if the program using log4j runs continously but if the program stops or crashes and the date changes, the next time the program tries to log something instead of rolling the actual log files it appends its data on the actual file. Example: rolling every night at midnight; the program crashes at 23:00 xx/mm/yyyy; the program runs again at 1:00 xx+1/mm/yyyy; expected behaviour: when the program runs again, it first rollover the log files and creates new one where it starts appending log rows; actual behaviour: when the program runs again it starts appending the new log rows in the actual log files that contain the log rows of the previous day
I built a class that wraps log4j for the use of the DayliRollingFileAppender. If u want i can send u privately or post it in the list I've also patched the log4j DayliRollingFileAppender class to have the expected behaviour: can i post this patch here so the development team can take it a look?
