http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43879 Summary: FileAppender writes Header multiple times Product: Log4j Version: 1.3alpha Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Appender AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FileAppender writes the Header again when an existing LogFile exists. FileAppender should write the header only once per file (functionality not documented). If so, the method writeHeader should check whether the file is empty before writing a new header. If the file already contains data, no header should be written. Otherwise you could end up having multiple headers in your file (if you restart your JVM several times for instance). A fix could look like this: protected void writeHeader() { File logFile = new File(getFile()); if (layout != null && this.qw != null && logFile.length() == 0) { this.qw.write("my Header\n"); } } -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
