RE: [Log4cpp-devel] Rolling File Appender v2

[Evert H. <ev...@zu...>]

Alex,

Maybe I'm picking nits here, but in log4j the RollingFileAppender is
different: it just rolls over when it reaches a certain maximum size. What
you've made looks more like their DailyFileAppender. Maybe you should rename
it?

Otherwise, it compiles with Borland C++ Builder - if you have a test
program, I'll test that it actually works with the Builder, too.

Ta, Evert

Dear All
Here is my first attempt for a rolling file appender so that log files can
change on specified periods
<<RollingFileAppender.cpp>> <<RemoteSyslogAppender.hh>>
These lines need to be added to the simpleconfigurator
else if (appenderName.compare("rolling") == 0)

        std::string logFileNameFormat;
        std::string rollingDuration;
            if (!(initFile >> logFileNameFormat))

                throw ConfigureFailure("Missing filename for rolling log
file format logging configuration file for category: " + categoryName);
        }
        if (!(initFile >> rollingDuration))

                throw ConfigureFailure("Missing duration for rolling log
file format logging configuration file for category: " + categoryName);
            }
        appender = new log4cpp::RollingFileAppender(categoryName,
logFileNameFormat,RollingFileAppender::getDuration(rollingDuration));
            }


Features
1. Hourly,daily,weekly,monthly changes
2. Allows you to specify format of file name, uses the method strftime to
achieve this
3. Can be accessed by the simple configurator by using following syntax
        appender Category pattern rolling %d%m%Y.log hourly %r %c %p %m%n
                                    ^            ^                     ^ how
often to change file
                                        |             name of log to
generate this example 09012002.log
                                    |
                                   appender name




Apologies for any bugs!!!
Look forward to comments
Regards
Alex
