Title: RollingFileAppender is deleting backup files

Hi Guys

I am working on RollingFileAppender, with the following property file

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout, logfile
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p [%c] - <%m>%n
#log4j.appender.logfile=com.deloitte.common.logging.internal.DeloitteFileAppender
log4j.appender.logfile = org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.logfile.File=C:/LoggingPOC/logs4/FileAppender.log
log4j.appender.logfile.MaxFileSize=10KB
# Keep three backup files.
log4j.appender.logfile.MaxBackupIndex=5
# Pattern to output: date priority [category] - message
log4j.appender.logfile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.logfile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p [%c] - %m%n

I am deploying a war file in weblogic 8.1 and the logging is done properly, all the log files are created and updated according to the RollingFileAppender requirements.

Now I am redeploying the same war file once again through the weblogic console, but now the log files are deleted one at a time and finally only one log file  (FileAppender.log)is left and same is being updated, no backups are created. I tried N number of times and this is deletion is repeating.

I am using 1.2.8 version and I can’t change the version as vignette uses that.

When I try to debug , I saw that the public void rollover(){
-----
file.renameTo(target);
// this mothos is returning false.
}

I am working on windows XP. Can some one help me out of this.

Regards
Sanket
