Re: Re[2]: Problem with RollingFileAppender

[Curt Arnold]

I've reviewed the log4j code.  It doesn't do anything to prevent the 
rolling file moving as the current working directory was changed, but I 
was unable to make a problem occur by changing the current working 
directory using System.setProperty("user.dir").  It may be that doesn't 
change the processes current working directory or that relative paths 
are always resolved based on the working dir at the time of VM start.  
I've made a comment in the bug report for the RollingFileAppender 
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-52) migration to address 
the issue.

I've raised the issue on the log4j mailing list.  It will take some 
time to figure out how to approach the problem so that compatibility 
with existing configuration files is maintained, but relative to the 
configuration file paths can be supported.

No, i don't know enything about log4j 1.3
org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender behaviour.

And that would be beautiful :)
