LOG4J VERSION 1.2.6
BUG DESCRIPTION org.apache.log4j.helpers.CountingQuietWriter says in its class comment: Counts the number of bytes written. However, since its write(String) method counts it by String.length(), current result becomes number of characters instead of byte-size. IMPACT CountingQuietWriter is used by RollingFileAppender to decide if rollOver() should be called. When multi-bytes text is written, the log file grows up over its maximum file size specified by setMaxFileSize(). HOW TO FIX <J2SE v 1.3.1 or earlier> Impossible, because we cannot know which CharToByteConverter is used at all. A better solution is to call String.getBytes().length instead of String.length(). (still has a problem because it assumes that the text is encoded in default character encoding, which could be different.) <J2SE v 1.4 or later> Possible, if CountingQuietWriter can know which java.nio.charset.Charset should be used. (I do not know how to get this information though.) ------------------------------- Wataru Fukushima PFU LIMITED -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
