Thanks Kevin. It now makes a whole lot of sense. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Steppe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 1:37 PM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: DailyRollingFileAppender - computeCheckPeriod
The result depends on how variable 'sdf' formats the dates involved. Basically it converts the requested date format into a timing interval for determining when to do roll overs. I agree however, that it is remarkably unclear and roundabout in doing this, but if you specify a different format it will return a different result. The key is really in !sdf.format(epoch).equals(sdf.format(next)).
