Re: shutdownHook and programmatic configuration

Hi Matt. Our environment is a custom scala application server. Our use case is the same as most standalone java apps -- we just want to log stuff and have it go somewhere. We're extremely vanilla in what we need from log4j -- it's really just different combinations of console, rollingfile, and flum

It's supposed to help clean up any resources and commit anything necessary. It sounds like you're having the opposite effect, though. Any details about environment or plugins that might help? On 4 June 2014 16:59, James Bellenger wrote: > (sorry for the fat-fingered send earlier) > > Hello. > O

You could consider using the TimeAndSizeRolljngAppender, available from www.simonsite.org.uk, which is Log4J 1.2.x compatible.  That might suit your immediate needs until such time as you are ready to upgrade to Log4J 2.0. Best Regards, Simon Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Yeah, ideally there's a limit to the buffer in both choices, however why aren't you just logging to a file and using the jtextarea to display the file contents? Then you don't have as much a worry about memory usage. On Jun 4, 2014 8:27 AM, "Gary Gregory" wrote: > Note that you will shoot yoursel

Maybe have the appender be the owner of the jtextarea such that you could call a gettextarea method when initializing your ui? Or you could buffer until you call an initialize method with the jtext area. With the first one not sure if you can write to the text area if it isn't in a frame, but I'm

Sorry, they're so different wish there were different mls. However with a max size you'd have to subclass the daily rolling file appender and tweak the rollover method (I think) to do the size check and potentially call the super class. On Jun 3, 2014 3:27 PM, "Akash Jain" wrote: > I am not usin
