Externally rolled fil problem

[CAGATAY TUNALI <ca...@oksijen.com>]

Hi,

I have a serious problem with "ExternallyRolledFileAppender". I configured 
my logger like 
/**********************************************************************************************************/
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>
<appender name="GatewayAppender" 
class="org.apache.log4j.varia.ExternallyRolledFileAppender">
        <param name="File" value="logs/Gateway.log"/>
        <param name="Append" value="true"/>
        <param name="MaxFileSize" value="5000KB"/>
        <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10"/>
        <param name="Port" value="3366" />
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
        <param name="ConversionPattern" 
value="%d{|dd/MM/yy|HH:mm:ss:SSS}|%-5p|%-10t| : %m%n" />
        </layout>
</appender>
<logger name="GatewayLogger" additivity="false">
        <level value="DEBUG"/>
        <appender-ref ref="GatewayAppender"/>
</logger>
<root>
        <priority value="DEBUG" />
        <appender-ref ref="GatewayAppender" />
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
/**********************************************************************************************************/
with  xml file. The logger is initialized with this values and 
reinitialized every 60 seconds. But When I try to change the log level
of GatewayLogger (not root logger) in this file
<level value="DEBUG"/> ----------> <level value="WARN"/>
 the program gives these errors.
/*********************************************************************************************************/
java.net.BindException: Address already in use
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.bind(PlainSocketImpl.java:321)
        at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(ServerSocket.java:308)

        at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:182)
        at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:94)
        at 
org.apache.log4j.varia.HUP.run(ExternallyRolledFileAppender.java:110)
/*********************************************************************************************************/


Another problem that I face with log4j is I will both change the log level 
in xml file and manually in my program. But when I change the debug level 
from program (set to WARN) because xml file (in xml file debug level is 
INFO) does not modified, dom configurator does not refresh debug level 
value. I think, because the values of current log level and xml log level 
does not match it must be reconfigured.
Yours Sincerely.
