Problem with java.util.logging - writing to multiple log files

[Dave Jones]

Hi ranchers..,

I'm having trouble with logging to multiple files - I am using the constructor for creating multiple files with size limitation-
FileHandler(String pattern, int limit, int count, boolean append).



The problem I encounter is that it writes to the next log file before exceeding the limit, can it be because of file-lock or something? what can I do in order to fill log files in a given limit and then write to the next?
thanks, Dave

Can't help with your problem but log4j could do this very easily, without having to write any Java code. You can direct output to a console, multiple files, emails and so on by just changing a properties file.

Thanks Kashif, But I can't use the log4j,I an requierd to use the jave.util.logger .

Hi,

log4j is now java.util.logging so you should be able to do it using properties files.

Thanks,

Nope, it's sure not. log4j is a somewhat richer alternative to java.util.logging.
