RollingFileAppender disk full handling
Hi all! In my application, I need to know if log4j failed to write a log
message.
I'm using RollingFileAppender, and from looking at the source, it catches
exceptions and just writes to console. I'm writing transaction audit logs,
so if I can't write to the log (disk full, or whatever) I want to abort the
transaction. Note that the log writing is done first; it doesn't need to
part of an atomic transaction.
First, is my reading of the code correct? Will the code that calls log4j
not get an exception?
Second, any ideas on how to work around this? Custom appender? It seems
like a waste to re-implement RollingFileAppender.
Thanks for any help on this!

Colin,
log4j does not throw exceptions. However, the RollingFileAppender
-should- make calls to the errorHandler. Implement your own
ErrorHandler and you should be able to get those notifications.
