Notify if logging media runs out of space

["Wullschleger, Donat" <Do...@siemens.co.uk>]

Hi all,

In our application, if the (logging) media is full, the user should get
prompted to either replace the media or move logging to another drive.

I did write a custom errorhandler (see code snippet below). But it doesn't
seem to work - I might have done a silly mistake...

Any hints towards solving my problem are appreciated.

class LogFileErrorHandler implements org.apache.log4j.spi.ErrorHandler {

...

public void error(String message, Exception e, int errorCode) {

  if (e instanceof FileIOException) {
    // close the file first by removing the FileAppender
    LogManager.shutdown();
            
    // show message to change media
    ...
            
    // make sure a new and empty media has been inserted
    ...        
    
    // continue logging by reinitializing log4j
    log = Logger.getRootLogger();
    // add custom LogFileErrorHandler to all FileAppenders
    ...
  }

}
