RollingFileAppender not backing up file
I have a RollingFileAppender set up, but it is not backing up after
maxfilesize of 50kb
Here is my properties file
****************************************************************************
**************
#log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG,dest1,A1
log4j.appender.rootLogger.Append=true
#### Second appender writes to a file
log4j.category.nfcs=info, dest1
log4j.debug=true
log4j.appender.dest1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
nfcsfilename=c:/apps/ipt/log/nfcs/nfcs1.log
log4j.appender.dest1.File=${nfcsfilename}
log4j.appender.dest1.Append=true
# Control the maximum log file size
log4j.appender.dest1.MaxFileSize=50KB
# Archive log files (one backup file here)
log4j.appender.dest1.MaxBackupIndex=3
log4j.appender.dest1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.dest1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p (%t) %l %c %d %M(%F:%L).
%x: %m%n
****************************************************************************
*************
Here is the code where I do the settings at the start of my program.
PropertyConfigurator p1 = new PropertyConfigurator();
p1.configureAndWatch(logPath+"log4j.properties", 5000);
l =
((RollingFileAppender) (cat.getLogger("nfcs"))
.getAppender("dest1"));
System.out.println("Value of append:"+
l.getAppend());
l.setAppend(true);
PropertySetter ps = new PropertySetter(l);
ps.setProperty("File", logfile);
ps.setProperty("Append","true");
PrintWriter k = new PrintWriter(System.out);
PropertyPrinter p = new PropertyPrinter(k);
p.print(k);
l.rollOver();
l.activateOptions();
****************************************************************************
**************
For some reason when the log4j system reads it it sets the file append
property back to false
And overwrites the existing file
[8/14/03 11:13:04:413 CDT] 4e65babb SystemOut O log4j: setFile called:
c:/apps/ipt/log/nfcs/nfcs1.log, false ( --this should be true)
But how can I control that.
Even in the write method I do this
public static void writeInfoLog(String s) {
try {
if (!l.getAppend()) {
l.setAppend(true);
l.activateOptions();
}
if (cat.isInfoEnabled()) {
cat.info(s);
//cat.log(WRAPPER_FQN, Priority.INFO, s,
null);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
cat.error("In writeLog:" + e.getMessage());
}
}
But the getAppend check was futile.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
