XML Configuration

[Andrew n marshall <am...@ISI.EDU>]

Until I hear how to configure with the default initialization, I am 
using the DOMConfigurator directly.  My log4cxx.xml contains a snippet 
from the RollingFileAppender documentation:

    <appender name="ROLL" 
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        <rollingPolicy 
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
            <param name="FileNamePattern" value="log.d{yyyy-MM}.xml"/>
        </rollingPolicy>

        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.XMLLayout"/>
    </appender>

but the DOMConfigurator chokes on the rollingPolicy:

log4cxx: Parsing rolling policy of class: 
"org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"
log4cxx: Setting option name=[FileNamePattern], value=[log.d{yyyy-MM}.xml]
log4cxx: Could not create the RollingPolicy. Reported error follows.
log4cxx: Illegal state

I'm guessing it is the XML snippet that is the culprit, as it has other 
issues (<root">).  Does anyone have a working example input?  Or is this 
just a bug in the code?

My mistake.  The percent sign in %d is there in the header file, but it 
does not show up in the generated web docs.  This also affects 
timebasedrollingpolicy.h.

Yes that fixed it.

The docs need to be updated accordingly.  In the detailed description of:
   
http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/apidocs/classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1RollingFileAppender.html
the XML example has the bug you noticed and a spurious " in the <root> 
tag (rollingfileappender.h).

You do not have a % (percent) character before the d to introduce the  
date format.  I assume that log4cxx is treating the whole pattern as a  
literal and the message is an indication that it did not locate a date  
pattern in the FileNamePattern value.  There is an example in src/test/ 
resources/input/rolling/time.xml.
