i have in my tomcat web application log4j that is configured like this :
1. <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; debug="true"> 2. <appender name="FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender" > 3. <param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/> 4. <param name="maxFileSize" value="100KB"/> 5. <param name="maxBackupIndex" value="15"/> 6. <param name="File" value="${catalina.home}/logs/myapp_gw.log" /> 7. <param name="Append" value="true"/> 8. <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> 9. <param name="ConversionPattern" value= "%d{ISO8601} %t %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n "/> 10. </layout> 11. </appender> 12. ... 13. .... 14. ... configured 100kb just to get quick test<http://www.javaranch.com/unit-testing.jsp>results , any way it seams like log4j roll the log only once and each time he detects that he need to make roll it just changes the previous file name and keep outputting to the main log file , i set log4j debug mode and the output it gives me looks like this : log4j: rolling over count=820961 log4j: maxBackupIndex=15 log4j: Renaming file C:\Tomcat\logs\myapp_gw.log.8 to C:\LB\Tomcat\logs\myapp_gw.log.9 log4j: Renaming file C:\Tomcat\logs\myapp_gw.log to C:\LB\Tomcat\logs\myapp_gw.log.1 log4j: setFile called: C:\Tomcat/logs/myapp_gw.log, true log4j: setFile ended as you can see it renaming me the myapp_gw.log.8 to myapp_gw.log.9 but doesn't keep the myapp_gw.log.8 , i need it to keep as i configured history of 15 files . what i need wrong here ? thanks
