> I am trying to use Regexfilter in RollingFileAppender. For 1st matching instance it retreived the logger, but after that I different patttern but nothing is logged in the file. Here is what I am using:
> {code}
> Main Class:
> public class MainApp {
>     /** 
>      * @param args
>      */
>      public static void main(String[] args) {
>          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
> 	final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(MainApp.class.getName());
> 	
> 	ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Beans.xml");
> 		
>         HelloWorld obj = (HelloWorld) context.getBean("helloWorld");
>         logger.trace("NPF:Trace:Entering Log4j2 Example.");
>         logger.debug("NTL:debug Entering Log4j2 Example.");
>         obj.getMessage();	
>         Company comp = new Company();
>         comp.setCompName("ANC");
>         comp.setEstablish(1889);
>      
>         CompanyBusiness compBus =      (CompanyBusiness)context.getBean("compBus");
>         compBus.finaceBusiness(comp.getCompName(), comp.getEstablish());
>         logger.trace("NTL: Trace: Exiting Log4j2 Example.");
>     }
> }
> {code}
> log4j2.xml:
> {code}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
> <Configuration>
>  	<Appenders>
>              <Console name="STDOUT" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
>                  <PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd [%t] HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%X%n" />
> 	    </Console>
> 	    <RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="C:\logTest\runtime\tla\els3.log"  append="true"
>     	                        filePattern="C:\logTest\runtime\tla\els3-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log" >
>                 <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %m%X%n" />
>                 <RegexFilter regex=".*business*." onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>	
>                 <Policies>
>                     <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="20 MB" />
>                 </Policies>     	
>             </RollingFile>		
> 	</Appenders>
> 	<Loggers>
> 		<Logger name="com.anc" level="trace"/>	
> 		<Root level="trace"> 
>     		    <AppenderRef ref="STDOUT" /> 
>     		    <AppenderRef ref="RollingFile"/> 
> 		</Root>	
> 	</Loggers>
> </Configuration>
> {code}
> When I ran for the first time, in my logfile I got logs having only "business" related line. Latter I changed the patter from .*business*. to "business", logging did not happen in file nor on the console. Also my application terminated without any kind of logging.
> Then I tried to revert back the pattern to .*business*., thereafter no logging happened on the log file, but on the console all the log trace is printed. When I comment out the Regexfilter after trying for long time, my logs was printed in the log file.
> I am not sure if this is a bug of Regexfilter works only for one time. Also if we do not pass any patter matching characters, the application stops without any log printing either on console or file.
