Append problem

[Andy Kriger <ak...@triene.com>]

I am trying to setup a log4j.properties file with log4j.appender
Append=false so that the file is overwritten every time. However, nothing is
logged to the file.

Here is my log4j.properties...
log4j.category.com.triene=DEBUG,logfile

log4j.appender.logfile=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.logfile.File=triene.log
log4j.appender.logfile.Append=false
log4j.appender.logfile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.logfile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %c [%t] %-5p %x - %m%n

Here is the output to the file as the logging occurs...
C:\dev\weblogic>tail -f triene.log
2001-01-29 21:38:21,876 com.triene.data.proxy.CalculatorProxy
[StartupThread] DEBUG  - this is a test

2001-01-29 21:38:21,926 com.triene.data.proxy.FameProxy [StartupThread] INFO
- this is a test
==> triene.log: file truncated <==

It's the "file truncated" bit that is causing the problem and I don't
understand why it's happening.\

Any help would be appreciated as I am puzzled.

thx
