AW: DailyRollingFileAppender with filesize option
Hi, some time ago i wrote the following to the log4j-dev mailing list: Hi, I had several problems with the DailyRollingFileAppender (see user mailing list), so I downloaded the DailyRollingAppenderExt.jar but I can't find the source of this file again (so I also can't find out the author of this Class). I extended this class so that the Appender rolls by date AND by size, like the CompositeRollingFileAppender does, with the difference that it logs to a different file every day, without having to rename any files (that was the problem with threads logging to yesterday's dir because the Java method renameTo() fails in the RollingFileAppender or the CompositeRollingFileAppender. My question is: Are you interested in this Appender? and if so, do you know who the original author of DailyRollingFileAppenderExt was? I would like to give this appender out to the people searching for something like that in the mailing list, it's almost an FAQ, but I would like to ask the original author before. So if someone finds out the the author of the original DailyRollingFileAppenderExt please tell me, that I can give out the modified one to the people who want it. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Manju Joseph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Sonntag, 30.

Unexpected logger ancestor
Hi all, I am using log4j 1.2.8 which I have congifured using the XML configuration. I have defined four category entires in my log file and I have now encountered some unexpected (for me at least) behaviour. The loggers are configured as follows: category name=X priority value=debug / /category category name=Y priority value=debug / /category category name=X.Z priority value=debug / /category category name=Y.Z priority value=debug / /category root priority value=INFO/ appender-ref ref=MyFile/ /root I have turned the log4j debug output on and it seems that the X and Y and X.Z categories are being created correctly. However according to the debug output the Y.Z logger is not being created as Y.Z but as X.Y.Z. I can only guess that because X is defined as the parent logger of Z in Category X.Z that log4j is automatically expanding the Y.Z to X.Z because it already thinks that X is an ancestor of X. Is this the way log4j works and if so why? Can I not define my loggers using the names I have defined above?

commons.logging and log4j configureAndWatch
commons.logging and log4j configureAndWatch Hello The application I work on currently uses the log4j configureAndWatch facility which allows the logging level to be dynamically modified without restarting the application. I am now evaluating whether we can move to the commons.logging framework as a wrapper to log4j. The answer is yes - but I cannot see how to dynamically modify the logging level. I was hoping there would be a facility within the log4j.properties file, such as log4j.PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch=true, but I may be searching in vain. Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks ! == Martin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: commons.logging and log4j configureAndWatch
Hi Martin, There is no such functionality available in v1.2.X. We are working on this functionality for v1.3 (Watchdogs). For now, you would need to write your own log4j specific code, outside of the common-logging framework. hth, -Mark -Original Message- From: Martin Flower [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 10:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: commons.logging and log4j configureAndWatch commons.logging and log4j configureAndWatch Hello The application I work on currently uses the log4j configureAndWatch facility which allows the logging level to be dynamically modified without restarting the application.

Re: AW: DailyRollingFileAppender with filesize option
Hi Carsten, It is my understanding, and I may be wrong here, that Ceki has completely rewritten the whole rolling appender framework to allow much more flexibility in the composition of different rules for rolling. This unfortunately not in the released version at this time, but the 1.3 release is not that far away. We appreciate your contribution, perhaps you could attach the files to a bug item (if you haven't done so already), so that your efforts don't get lost if my understanding is not correct. cheers, Paul Smith On Mon, 2003-12-01 at 20:57, Bansemir, Carsten wrote: Hi, some time ago i wrote the following to the log4j-dev mailing list: Hi, I had several problems with the DailyRollingFileAppender (see user mailing list), so I downloaded the DailyRollingAppenderExt.jar but I can't find the source of this file again (so I also can't find out the author of this Class).

Thank you for your help.
I like this version, is it possible to run it with
current production

Thanks.

For anyone interested in building log4j from source,
ensure paths in

I think JDeveloper may be the culprit. Can you run it
outside JDeveloper?
(with no extra classes in the classpath except ant)?
prerequisites: cvs, ant (a recent version, 1.5.1 or
newer?), jdk 1.3 or
greater
1: pull the tip of the jakarta-log4j cvs module (see
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html )
2: download the latest ORO release and expand (see
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi )
3: in the jakarta-log4j directory, copy
build.properties.sample to
build.properties
4: uncomment the ORO path line in build.properties and
update the path -
example:
regexp.oro.jar=c:/downloads/oro/jakarta-oro-2.0.7/jakarta-oro-2.0.7.jar
5: in the jakarta-log4j directory, run the chainsaw
ant target ('ant
chainsaw')
Here are the first lines I get when I run the
build...yours should look
similar:
