You shouldn't have two JVM's writing to the same file. If you want logs from 2 JVMs to go to the same file you can have them send out the logs on a SocketAppender and have a ServerSocket(name?) receive them and write them to the file.

Hi all, I'm using Log4j (log4j-1.2.9.jar) for two applications (two JVMs) which use the same configuration file and write onto the same log files. Traces seem correct, but the RollingFileAppender doesn't work. There's no backup file but the log is reset when max size is reached. I've recreated the "same" error using only one application, but with two appenders writing onto the same file (for example with a layout different). In particular the problems seem to be: 1) the "renameTo" method fails; 2) the condition when applying rollOver is not updated. I extended the RollingFileAppender with a class which: - overloads rollOver() method (replacing the "renameTo" call) - overloads subAppend() method (performing a refresh of file features before doing the check of its size). The situation is certainly improved, but there are still some bugs because sometimes some files are smaller and some traces miss. Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong? I've also looked at log4j-1.2.13.jar, but its behaviour seem the same.
