Hi there, I have a signed WebStart application which logs defaultly into the current user's home directory. (If I use a relative path the log file is saved under a browser specific path which is not very user friendly.) There are now cases where it is sensible to start this WebStart application twice or more times. In this case, all program instances write to the same log file which makes it very difficult to read.
I came up with following two solutions: - Put each log file into a session-specific path, e.g. <home>/.<application-name>/<session-id>/<filename> session-id must be a program instance specific identifier - Use MDC. Distinguish the different client instances by using different MDC-keys. - This could be a problem using RollingFileAppender (Messages may get messed up according older mailing list entries?) - Produces a lot of extra data since the cases, where > 1 program instances are running, are rather few Is there a default behaviour how to solve this issue? Any help appreciated. Yours, Peter
