RE: append getting set to false with RollingFileAppender

[Horry, Adam J]

Digging into the code.

RollingFileAppender.java

void rollOver() {
...
 <at the very end>
...

try {
  // This will also close the file. This is OK since multiple
  // close operations are safe.
  this.setFile( fileName, false, bufferedIO, bufferSize);
  }
  catch ...
}

Looking at the code, not sure I understand why the this.setFile()
is being called with append as false.

Subject: append getting set to false with RollingFileAppender



I am using a RollingFileAppender.

When the file rolls over, the new file is not being appended.

I put code in to trace what was happening in the setFile
method of the RollingFileAppender. The getAppend( ) method printed out
true (as defaulted) but after the rollOver( ) method was called the
getAppend( ) method returned false.

Any idea why the append value would get set to false upon rollover?

Thanks,
Adam Horry
