They will overlap in that the web application is online all day. But the batch is set to run during the night, which when it does, there will be two JVM's running.
I think what I am looking to find out is if Log4j will over write the log file that the web is writing to when the 2nd JVM starts up? The following is what my scenario is: - The Web App starts up and creates a log file called activity.log. - The batch process starts up (via a separate JVM), sees the file is already there, and continues to write to it (as the Web App could as well). Thanks.

The problem I am having is that when the batch job Do the two applications run at the same time (i.e. does the batch job run while the web application is also running), or do they run mutually exclusive? For the former, AFAIK it is not possible, because log4j does not synchronize write access to the same file from within different VMs. Regards, Andreas
