Using log4j to log XML-files?
I have a scenario where I would like to use log4j to save intermediate
XML-files for later debugging. We are using log4j 1.2.7, and it is
cumbersome to upgrade.
I therefore need a configuration that saves exactly one log entry per
log file, and names it with some unique name. I tried
DailyRollingFileAppender which - with S in the DatePattern - in theory
should give me a uniquely named file per entry, but where the program
logic apparently is not prepared for millisecond resolution.
RollingFileAppender is less attractive as it renames and deletes files
and does not allow a timestamp in the name.
I have a feeling I may be using a wrong approach. for this. Any
suggestions?

After hitting send, I realised I forgot to describe what happens. Both
appenders log several entries in the same file, without rolling over.
DailyROllingFileAppender with S in the pattern, and RolingFileAppender
with a filesize of 1 and ImmediateFlush on. So my problem is to get
log4j to check for rollover _every_time, and actually do it :)
Sorry for the multiple posting.
