Hi,
I played with the RollingFileAppender in log4j 1.3 today, mainly
because I started some work on the RollingFileAppender in log4cxx.
Just to be sure:
- The old RollingFileAppender (outside the rolling package)
is not supported anymore, not even as a delegate to support
the old property configuration?
- I tried to configure the new RollingFileAppender like
log4j.appender.testAppender=org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.testAppender.triggeringPolicy=org.apache.log4j.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
log4j.appender.testAppender.file=RFA-test1.log
but it seems that properties can still only be Strings, especially
if their setter begins with "set" (there seems to be a similar
mechanism for "add..." methods). Complex types (like layout)
must be handled specially in the PropertyConfigurator?
This again would mean that configuring the RollingFileAppender
is not yet possible with the PropertyConfigurator?
Would it be a proper solution to add special runtime instanciation
of the triggeringPolicy class to the PropertyConfigurator, or is
a smarter method intended (like looking for a setter which takes
an Object, and trying to instanciate a class with the given property
value)?
Just want to make sure that I add a patch which was sent for log4cxx
in the most log4j-alike way...
Thanks,
Andreas
