Hi Gary, finally I found the trouble. It got nothing to do with log4j itself. It is the stuff around my application, since I comuniate the input file names within Systemproperties, that are filled by one but not by the other application. The logger produces empty files for each, even though the other application not even running. I guess the cause of this is that I am using just one logging config for all my applcations. I probably could fix this behaviour by using for each application an own logger config. Inkow, using system properties is not the best choice, because they are global. That makes thread safety impossible. For a long term I should overthink the comunication of properties to my NamedFileAppender. Is there another way to build up a file name for the logging using things like input file names may be with appenders that are shiiped with log4j? Malte ________________________________

There you can attach all the files you want. Can this be reproduced in any way with a stock appender of any type like a rolling file appender? The best way to get anyone to help is to create a standalone program that illustrates the problem. Ideally, it should be a unit test that fails. Another question that will come up is, does using the current version, 1.2.17, work better? Differently?

You can use an other String, for example the input file, or parts of it to produce your desired log file name, seq-numbers and time stamps etc. My applcation, that got the log-config (actually the xml configuration type) is a mroe infratstuctional Programm, that calls other applications like converters. I have put all in one single log-configuration-file using the cusomized appender on several file processing applcations. The confguration is like this, that each processed file is suppose to produce one log file per application that is processing it. For one application it works pretty good. Ror another it produces each expected log file but produces the logs for all turns only in one file. The others stay empty. I am not sure what I am doing wrong and what is going on here. I cannot understand why in one case it works (s.FEDCONV...log) , in the other it does not at all (s.
