Creating the rotated log files even if there is no accesses

[Nuno Carvalho]

Hi there,

I developed a service which uses the DailyRollingFileAppender class logger. It works fine but it has a behaviour that I need to overcome.

Note: The logging system is being made on a daily basis.

I will give you an example to explain my problem:


* On the 22 January 2003 the service generated the logs to the accessGW.log file.

* On the 23 January 2003 there was no accesses to the service.

* Today, 24 January 2003, there was still no accesses to the service and therefore the accessGW.log.2003-01-23 was not created.


I was thinking on creating a new thread on the service for calling the logger (of course, i don't want to generate a fake log information, I would need a kind of NOP) in order to the accessGW.log.2003-01-23 be created. Which log4j method should I use ?

Is there any other idea to overcome this ?

BTW, if there is no accesses then i would like that log4j creates a log file for that day with length zero.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Nuno Carvalho
