Hi, I have a simple subclass of RollingFileAppender which works successfully using log4j1.2.X but has never previously worked with 1.3 code.
Using the log4j1.3 alpha 8 code my custom subclass of the RFA wrapper now compiles (after the replacement of direct property access with getter method access!) :-) I have created a patch (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38411) to the RollingFileAppender wrapper which restores the ability to set several properties via config file. There are a few other public methods which were present in 1.2 RFA but which were not settable from config and could have only been called from programmatic configuration or subclass invocation: public void append(LoggingEvent event) public final Filter getFirstFilter() public boolean isAsSevereAsThreshold(final Priority level) public synchronized void setWriter(Writer writer) If required these methods could also be implemented in the wrapper to preserve compatibility.
