LOG4J

[Govardhan Balaji]

hi,
Using log4j log messages should be sent to a file. consider i am writing some ten messages in the file , when a 11th messages comes it should replace the 1st message in the that file than remaining 9 messages(from 2 to 10) should not be deleted. Also for the 11th message it should not create a new file(Rolling file appender). I have written the code for sending the log messages to a file but don't know how to implement that file requirement. Please help me to solve this issue

Govardhan,
Welcome to the Ranch.

I do not think that is possible, only by tweaking log4j properties. You might have to do the cleanup stuff with some java file i/o code.
We have a dedicated forum where log4j is usually discussed. I will move this thread there for you.

Looking at the requirement, it's surely going to confuse those who will be using the logs to identify any issues. Why do you want it that way?

This was the requirement given to me. What to do?.
