I apologize if this question has been covered several times over, I tried doing a search on both the forum and Google and came up with nothing. I am not really sure how to search for this particular problem.
Here is the question: we are doing some system
testing on our application and the testers have found that if they delete the log file, log4j is not recreating it, or creating and populating a new one, while the application is running. In order to have the file created and populated, the application needs to be restarted.
To me, this seems like a fairly simple no brainer. If the file is deleted, log4j should realize this and create a new file and start populating it. Except that is not what is happening and I cannot seem to find the property config switch to enable this bahviour.
Anyone have any suggestions or links that will point me in the right direction?
