Unfortunately that plan html page is out of date. Ceki has already done major work in this area for the log4j 1.3 release which has not quite reached the Alpha phase at this point. You can see the fruits of his efforts in the org.apache.log4j.rolling package available through the cvs module. There is already a good chunk of test cases there for this area, so I believe it is stable, pending the update of all the documentation required for the release. You will definately see this in the 1.3 release. cheers, Paul Smith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
