Reopening files

["MALLER Stijn (BMB)" <St...@proximus.net>]

Hi everyone,

I've written an alternative DailyRollingFileAppender which simulates the
behavior of an old logger used in our company. There's one last
functionality that is lacking and I was wondering if anyone could help
me out or at least point me in the right direction.

At the moment the applications are running fine logging statements to
logfiles. But, if someone just deletes the logfiles on the UNIX
filesystem the application keeps running without throwing any errors
(which you would expect). However, eventhough the logstatements are all
lost (because the application doesn't start a new file automatically) it
doesn't even show a warning.

I would like to change that behavior. The application should detect that
the file has disappeared and restart a new one automatically. Any idea
which method I have to override and what I have to change? This is quite
important...

Thanx in advance,
Stijn
