Hi, I have downloaded Log4J 1.2.6 yesterday and have made a simple BufferAppender. This is storing log events in a cyclic buffer and overwrites the oldest log event when a new one is appended. The whole buffer and the new message are forwarded to a subappender if the new log event has got a priority that is high enough.
This means one won't get all the debug and info messages in the log (so the log would keep small and clean) unless a log event with a priority that is high enough (e.g. ERROR) occurs. Then the log will contain not only the error itself but its history too. The class has got only one small error: If the size is decreased while the buffer is full the oldest messages remain in the buffer instead of the newest ones. This is because helper.CyclicBuffer is used internally. I would be willing to change this if nobody objects. What is CyclicBuffer used else for? I would donate the BufferAppender to the project if you are interested. Regards, Ole -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
