Rolling over files is the major use case.

One use case for this would be to force roll-over of files at particular times. However, if that is the only use case there might be simpler approach within the RFA framework.
Could you elaborate on other use cases that you are wanting to support?

Hi All,
I have run into the following scenario many times. That is how to trigger a future event that you want to happen at a specific time. I have noticed that the general practice is a passive approach, Wait for a log event to happen and check if you are passed the specific time.
I am looking for people's thoughts/pointers on a more active approach.
The passive approach works for me and I often turn this into an active approach by logging a NOOP logging event that all the appender's know not to log. This works great but has the obvious drawback of needing the appender's to know about this in advance. Just wondering people's thoughts on a more robust generic solution.
Could be something as simple as log4j keeping a single java.util.Timer that appenders can register callbacks with.
cheers, Glen
PS I thought I saw an example of this in the log4j contribs or src a few months but can't find it now...
