No such issues have (so far) been observed with the TimeAndSizeRollingAppender, which directly subclasses the Log4J FileAppender. This Appender does the same stuff as the DailyRollingFileAppender, plus a few extra features. You could perhaps give that a try. Available under the Apache 2.0 license at www.simonsite.org.uk.

The javadoc for DailyRollingFileAppender says: "DailyRollingFileAppender has been observed to exhibit synchronization issues and data loss. The log4j extras companion includes alternatives which should be considered for new deployments and which are discussed in the documentation for org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender." This javadoc was written in 2002. I can't find the documentation it mentions. Has this class been fixed, and if not, what/where are the alternatives? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
