Log file created for every invocation

[Siva Masilamani]

Hi

I am trying to write a simple program to log the application data using Java logging API.As we are using Java 1.2 ,i am using LumberJack for logging.


The problem is everytime i run the class a new log file is created like filename.log.0,filename.log.1 and so on.

How do i avoid this?Also i would like to know how to rollover the old log file and create a new log file everyday?I know we could do it in Log4j using org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender but how would i get the same thing here also?

This class runs only if there is logging.properties file is in the jdre/lib folder which JDK1.2 doen't have.So i manually create a empty file with such a name under the lib directory.How do i make the jvm look for the location i specified in the program instead of lib directory?

Please find below the code and property file.

 public class LogOracleDataProcessor {
    static String fileLocation;
    private static Logger logger;
    private static void initialize(){
        try{
        fileLocation=ConfigProperties.getInstance().getProperty("STR_CONFIG_FILE_1");        
        }catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{
        initialize();
        logger = Logger.getLogger(OracleDataProcessor.class.getName());
        LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(new FileInputStream(fileLocation));
        logger.info("hi");
    }
}  


Property file:

handlers=java.util.logging.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler 

.level=INFO 

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=ALL
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter

java.util.logging.FileHandler.level=ALL 

java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = C:/u10/log/oracledataprocessor.log
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 50000
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 1
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
java.util.logging.FileHandler.append=true
