DailyRollingFileAppender problems

           Summary: DailyRollingFileAppender problems
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


There are several problems with the DailyRollingFileAppender:
1. It appears that when log4j is first initialised that on creating the first
   file, it adds two headers, this is because it calls the constructor of the
   superclass (which calls the setFile method which writes the header), and the
   activateOptions of the superclass (which also calls the setFile method). This
   can be resovled by setting a flag in the WriterAppender class to see if it
   has already been written.
2. On roll over, the DailyRollingFileAppender does not write a footer to every
   file. See bug 11446 for more details.
3. The DailyRollingFileAppender does not allow you to append to files. This can
   be fixed by adding a boolean flag to the constructor or by making the 
   setAppend method public.
