I have a problem with file handler in UNIX. It is related to log4j, but may not caused by it.
There are two web applications running, both using log4j. One is Solaris/Weblogic and the other Solaris/iPlanet. The WL one never had problem with file logging. But the iPlanet always will have overflow file handler issue and eventually after days the UNIX file resources is used up and appl. get locked. I understand log4j is thread safe. I also checked the code of log4j. It seems that the files (appenders) get opened and kept open until specifically get reset() or close(). My question is that (a) Should we close the appenders each event is logged? Or we should justleave them open. (b) For the file hander of UNIX, for one file (appender) why would it use multiple handler for one file? why not use kind of pooling access to the file. Please clarify if I have any misunderstandins.
