http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13947 DailyRollingFileAppender.rollover() uses default access ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-08-14 14:52 ------- I would like to see the functionality of DailyRollingFileAppender changed to accomplish what this entry is requesting. What is the purpose of having a rolling logger if it will always generate a unique logname? What I mean is that in all documentation/examples I can find, the log file names always end up being unique via some component of the date that includes year. This will result in an infinite number of files and this creates a maintenance problem, someone will have to periodically delete files. For example, a daily rollover results in something like mylog.log.2003-8-01 (format may not be correct, just example). This means that no files will ever write over existing older files. If instead, the daily rollover had a file name more like mylog.log.monday (for first day of week configuration), or mylog.log.07 for the 7th of the month (for a day of the month type configuration), then at least at some point (weekly or monthly), the logs would overwrite the old ones thereby making external file deletion unnecessary. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
