Dear list,

I am looking for a way to create a log file per thread (actually, per Quartz job that gets run).

I've googled quite a bit and found a few approaches, in particular KeyFileAppender [1]. All I have seen seem to rely on the MDC and KeyFileAppender seems to have a resource leak [2].

I am wondering whether there is a simply way to programmatically create, at the beginning of my thread, a logger with a given name and closing it at the end of the thread. Has anybody accomplished something like this?

  public void run()
  {
     String id = ...; // thread name or whatever
     Logger logger = ...; // Create a logger with a basename and the id
     try
     {
       // ...
     }
     finally
     {
       logger.close(); // Something like this is needed to make sure
                       // old logs do not keep hanging around
     }
  }

Many thanks,
Kaspar
