I don't think rollover() should be invoked within the close() method. You rather want to close the file and than compress it.

The compression goes something like:

  if (compressionMode == CompressionMode.NONE) {
     // nothing to do?
  } else {
    if (getParentsRawFileProperty() == null) {
      asyncCompress(elapsedPeriodsFileName, elapsedPeriodsFileName,
                    elpasedPeriodStem);
    } else {
      renamedRawAndAsyncCompress(elapsedPeriodsFileName,
                                 elpasedPeriodStem);
    }
  }

See the rollover() method in TimeBasedRollingPolicy. I'll have another look at all this tomorrow.

Ceki,

So I gave it a shot.

  * CloseTBRP.java
    
<https://github.com/trothwell/logback-test/blob/master/src/main/java/org/trothwell/lbtest/CloseTBRP.java>
  * TestCloseTBRP.java
    
<https://github.com/trothwell/logback-test/blob/master/src/test/java/org/trothwell/lbtest/TestCloseTBRP.java>

I'm running into a few problems if you have some time to take a look:

  * I'm unable to delete files after stopping LoggerContext.
  * Output file count is off (SiftingAppender or RollingFileAppender
    doesn't create both output files)
  * NullPointerException occurs when stopping LoggerContext with
    CloseTBRP in use

I have two scenarios.

 1. Create a normal TimeBasedRollingPolicy configured for compression
    that will create 2 output files.
 2. Create the new auto-close CloseTBRP that will do the same.


For both configurations this is the steps: (or look at unit test)

 1. Create new LoggerContext
 2. Configure LoggerContext
 3. Submit a log event
 4. Set MDC property for discriminator
 5. Submit a log event
 6. Stop LoggerContext
 7. Check log file counts
     1. for TBRP, 2 text files
     2. for CloseTBRP, 2 zip files


Have a great weekend,
