Which server engine is this? What is your config file?

RE: Error in renaming the file During DailyRollover option
Posted by Shailesh Vaidya <Sh...@yojna.com>.
Hi,
I run the same servlet many times at diffrent times. Actually the file
remains open even when the doget method is finished. So when the log4j
appender tries to rename the file at rollover time when the same servlet is
executed the next day it gets an error.
Is the file be opened or closed at each debug or info statement ?. Can
somebody throw light on when exactly the file is opened and closed for
fileappenders. That is the key to this problem. One way is to go through the
source code and find out but I was trying to save that time.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Shailesh

Is the previous run of your servlet closed and unloaded when you run the
new version? What happens if you change the DatePattern to
.yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm (minutely rollover)? Do rollovers occur?

RE: Error in renaming the file During DailyRollover option
Posted by Shailesh Vaidya <Sh...@yojna.com>.
Hi,
When I put the log4j.jar in the classpath of webSphere application developer
server test engine, the original problem of renaming file error does not
occur. But I have observed a strange behavior. my observations are as
follows.
1. When I run the servlet code in debug mode the rollover happens smoothly
everytime without any problem when I change the system date.
In normal run the behaviour changes
2. When I run the servlet once in a day. Change the system date and run the
servlet again the rollover occurs and the original file is renamed.
3. If I run the servlet twice in a day. The log messages go to the same file
even if I change the system date and run the servlet again.
Can somebody throw light on this strange behaviour. I am using
immidateflush as true. ( the default value)
regards
Shailesh

I am using WebSphere Application Developer Test Engine. The Config file
details are as follows. I am using the default config file log4j.properties
and it is kept in web-inf\classes directly. The messages are properly
logged. Just that file remains open even when the doGet method is over. When
I try to run the servlet the next day ( by changing the system date and
time) I get the message "log4j:ERROR Failed to rename [d:\ajit\example] to
[d:\ajit\example.2002-12-18]."
