So there is apparently a difference between having your config appender being org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender vs. org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender. The second one(which doesn't have the extra 'rolling' in its namespace) will only be activated if you have /exactly/ the following in your config file: <appender name="ROLL" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"> This loads the obsolete rolling file appender for log4cxx, which doesn't seem to work properly. It certainly doesn't work correctly for the test that I've been trying to do. As the name would suggest, it's probably obsolete and we should think about removing it post 0.12.
The quirky thing about this is that because log4cxx doesn't actually care about the Java class name, the following lines in the config file are all equivalent: <appender name="ROLL" class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <appender name="ROLL" class="RollingFileAppender"> <appender name="ROLL" class="log4cxx.RollingFileAppender"> -Robert Middleton On Sat, Apr 17, 2021 at 4:27 AM Thorsten Schöning <tschoen...@am-soft.de> wrote: > > Guten Tag Robert Middleton, > am Samstag, 17.
