Hi,
I'm currently using log4j 1.2.14 and have been having some trouble
logging in GMT. Is there any way of setting the timezone of an appender?
I ended up doing this:
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
This seems to work but it means my appender has to set this property
globally. This isn't ideal as it may cause unexpected results in any
applications using my appender.
I saw somewhere that ConversionPattern has been extended in version 1.3
to take a second parameter for a timezone such as below:
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.conversionPattern = %d{yyyy-MM-dd
hh:mm:ss z}{GMT+0} %-5p [%c{1}:%t] %m%n
Will this mean that the time based rolling appenders will roll correctly
at the end of day as specified by the time zone or is this purely for
the date text in the log? Is there a better way to specify the timezone
properly?
I extended the DailyRollingFileAppender to delete out of date files, as
it rolls, in order to clean up. This seems to have been deprecated and
made final in version 1.3. Is it neccesary to make it final?
Otherwise many thanks for your hard work in producing an excellent
logging system.
Cheers,
Alex
