One of the nice features I like in log4j 1.3 is
FixedWindowRollingPolicy#setFileNamePattern();
The log4j default rolling pattern looks like mylog.log1, mylog.log2, ...
This makes it difficult for desktops to associate the file-type with
application used for opening the log file for viewing so I like to use
FixedWindowRollingPolicy fixedWindowRollingPolicy = new
FixedWindowRollingPolicy();
fixedWindowRollingPolicy.setFileNamePattern("mylog%i.log");
fixedWindowRollingPolicy.setMaxIndex(9);
fixedWindowRollingPolicy.setMinIndex(0);
This way I only have to associate the file suffix '.log' once, with my
favorite log file editor, and not for each of '.log1' '.log2' etc.
It would be really nice to do this in log4j 1.2. Are there any plans to
add this to the 1.2 stream?
Cheers, Eric
