Fwd: Concatenate DailyRollingFileAppender and SMTPAppender

[JOSE L MARTINEZ-AVIAL <jl...@gmail.com>]

Hello,
    Does anyone know if it's possible to "concatenate" two appenders? I have
setup a DRFA that rollovers at midnight, and I'd like it to send the file it
generates by mail to a certain mail address. I know I can modify the DRFA to
do that, but I wonder if such behaviour is already contemplated in the
log4j? Has anyone done something like this?

   thanks

JL

The RollingFileAppender framework in the extras companion (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/index.html) would be a better starting point.  Much more designed for extensibility than DailyRollingFileAppender but offers the same features when properly configured.  You should be able to replace the rolling policy with an extended one that does what you want.

As for an existing solution, I'm not aware of one, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone pointed you to one in the new day or so.
