I've just committed the start of a multifile appender project as
recently discussed on the list. The project is not functional yet,
for example, it doesn't contain any appenders at the moment. Hope to
fill those in over the next few days. What is in there at the moment
is the FileNamePolicy interface and two implementing classes,
PatternFileNamePolicy and SizeBasedFileNamePolicy with corresponding
unit tests. PatternFileNamePolicy uses a captive PatternLayout to
generate a file name from a LoggingEvent. Setting a
conversionPattern of "%t.log" would result in using the thread name
plus ".log" as the file name. SizeBaseFileNamePolicy checks the
parent directory for any files matching the specified body and
extracts the largest index and continues to use that until it exceeds
the specified maximum file size. The sandbox project is built using
Maven 2.
To check out the project:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/sandbox/log4j/
multifile multifile
To build the project and run the unit tests:
cd multifile
mvn install
To build the documentation:
cd multifile
mvn site
