I wrote an appender that always uses the formatted name. http://stauffer.james.googlepages.com/DateFormatFileAppender.java

guys, I am using DailyRollingFileAppender to have an AM and PM log for each day. This isn't quite what I want but is close enough for now. What I would really like is an appender that writes directly to the target file, rather than it writing it to a different file and rolling that file over at a certain time. It's the rolling over that I don't like. I have had some weird problems where log4j sometimes complains that it cannot do the rollover at startup. Here is an example of how a logger worked that I was using before I started using log4j. The logfile name was of the form <prefix>yyyymmdd-w.txt where w is a watch number. The day is divided into 6 watches of 4 hours each, i.e. 0000->0400, 0400->0800, 0800-1200, 1200->1600, 1600->2000 and 2000->2400. Each time a call is made to the logger it ensures that it is writing to the correct logfile for the current watch. If the file exists the record is appended, if the file does not exist it is created. The advantage of this system is that you always know which logfile to look at and you dont need to worry about rollover. Is there any chance of log4j being able to offer this facility please?
