Thanks, Kathey, that is really what I need.

One concern I have is that by default, the derby.log gets overwritten on subsequent boot. From my experience with customers, whenever there is an issue, I always end up telling them to add this property almost every time to see the debug logs. It is very common to see users reboot the system if they hit an error and in this case, it is probable that important relevant information in the derby.log is lost because it gets overwritten ( ex - recovery issues , deadlock etc ).

Maybe we could do something smart for derby.log , a balance between keeping history across boots and disk space taken by the derby.logs.

Any comments ?

Sunitha.
