HI,
Thanks for your timely help, Mr. Stauffer.
James, the problem was with the SimpleDateFormat. If you look at the
fileName i have specified, its "logs/debug.log". But in the file which you
gave me, it accepts a SimpleDateFormat, i.e, "yyyy-MM-dd" or "yyyy/MM/dd",
or some similar format. So all i had to do was to change the fileName, i
changed it to "yyyy-MM-dd" and it worked fine.
And regarding the backlashes, i have no control over it, because everytime i
remove it, my java program adds it, the backlash acts as an escape sequence
here. So when i read the property file and try changing the value then my
program modifies the entire property file itself, thus the presence of
backlash.
Thanks & Regards,
Kailash.K.N.

log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd-MMM-yyyy HH\:mm\:ss}
%6p - %m %n
I think it is having problems with that line. Try removing the
backslashes.
