[Logging] Problem with rollover
Hi,
We're using commons-logging as part of our logging framework. The
environment is websphere process server 6.x on windows server 2003 with
jdk 1.4. For some reason, the rollover of logs files is not happening
and its overwriting the same file. The same configuration file was used
with other projects on weblogic and websphere portal and its working
fine. I'm enclosing the log4j configuration file along with this mail. I
manually created rollover-files just to get around the scenario where
the server may not have permissions to create a log file, but the
strange thing is it is deleting the rollover log files and writing onto
the same file. Please let me know if I'm missing anything here.
thanks
vishist.

You should ask about this issue on the log4j lists, not the commons
list. See:
http://logging.apache.org/
This list is the right place for commons-logging issues. However all
that commons-logging does is figure out which logging library to pass
the call onto. As long as it is doing that right, the rest (eg logfile
rolling) is up to whichever logging lib you are using.
Regards,
Simon

My apologies for posting to a wrong list. I'll continue my search
with log4j group.

I'm sure that log4j 1.2.8 is being used by commons as the pattern of log
format, log file size (changed the file size to ~100 KB to test
rollover) is consistent with that configured in the properties file. The
same
properties file is used by portal. The strange thing is that how can
logging framework delete a file like "application.log.[1-10]" created by
me and then continue writing to "application.log" file.
Anyway, I appreciate you responding to me.

Vishist,
As Simon mentioned, this is not a commons-logging issue, it is a log4j
issue. In the interest of getting your question answered, though, please
read on.

Were these other projects using the same version of log4j? Are you sure
that log4j is being used by commons-logging, or is it possible that the
java.util.logging is being used instead, with no rolling configured
(unlikely given that the backup files are being expunged on startup).
