Hi Ralph, I have a scenario to create Appenders programmatically and so also the Policies. I am finding it difficult to create each entity since Appender delegates everything with RollingFileManager, and which is not hooked with Appender. I have 2 questions like,
1. Does log4j support declarative and refrain from programmatically creating the log configurations? 2. Logback gives the flexibility to extend Appenders and also the TriggeringPolicies with which I can customise my logging. Previously I had a scenario where I had to do a forceRollover in program for monitoring reasons . This was easily achievable by logback by calling the rollover of RollingFileAppender which is delegated to Policy. This I am unable to do with Log4j 2, or rather I feel it is much more complex. Could you please help me in finding a better way, I had enough search on google but couldnt find a suitable usecase. -Sudharma On Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 8:34 AM, Sudharma Puranik < [email protected]> wrote: > OK fine .
