Hello,
It looks like the FileAppender currently limits its ouput to the default
system file encoding. This is when you are trying to debug a program using
Japanese data on a US system, as all Japanese characters are reduced to
question marks [?] :(. This is an unecessary restriction.
Calling WriterAppender.setEncoding() method has no effect on the behavior of
the FileAppender since the OutputStreamWriter has already been created when
at construction time.
A temporary solution if I may suggest one would be to add one constructor to
the FileAppender that would take an extra encoding argument e.g:
public FileAppender(Layout layout, String filename, boolean append, boolean
bufferedIO,
int bufferSize, String encoding) throws IOException {
this.layout = layout;
this.setEncoding(encoding);
this.setFile(filename, append, bufferedIO, bufferSize);
}
That would enable user to have log file in any encoding they chose to.
Cheers,
Thierry.
