           Summary: log4j writing in old files
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2beta
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: AIX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jnarula@hcl.in


Hello,

we have implemented on logging facility in our web services.
problem: there are 2 web services (WS) A and B. then when users start hitting
the WS loggers start writing in a log file.
the java code creates an obj of logger using getlogger(). assuming if A WS has
created an object of the logger then it will be reused by B WS or any other call
to any WS.
The log files are created daily using DailyRollingFileAppender.
after running for a couple of days the logger starts writing into an old log
file created with date stamp. example if for example app started on 1st june
then a log file was created xyz.log then next day the log files now exists are
xyz.log and xyz.log.YYYY-MM-DD and at times the logger obj start writing into
xyz.log.YYYY-MM-DD file instead of xyz.log.

we are using IBM jdk 1.4 and the WS is running using web sphere 6.0 on AIX
server using log4j 1.2.6

kindly help.
below is the log4j property file being used.
