Detailed Description

When rolling over, FixedWindowRollingPolicy renames files according to a fixed window algorithm as described below.

The ActiveFileName property, which is required, represents the name of the file where current logging output will be written. The FileNamePattern option represents the file name pattern for the archived (rolled over) log files. If present, the FileNamePattern option must include an integer token, that is the string "%i" somwhere within the pattern.

Let max and min represent the values of respectively the MaxIndex and MinIndex options. Let "foo.log" be the value of the ActiveFile option and "foo.%i.log" the value of FileNamePattern. Then, when rolling over, the file foo.max.log will be deleted, the file foo.max-1.log will be renamed as foo.max.log, the file foo.max-2.log renamed as foo.max-1.log, and so on, the file foo.min+1.log renamed as foo.min+2.log. Lastly, the active file foo.log will be renamed as foo.min.log and a new active file name foo.log will be created.

Given that this rollover algorithm requires as many file renaming operations as the window size, large window sizes are discouraged. The current implementation will automatically reduce the window size to 12 when larger values are specified by the user.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Member Function Documentation

void activateOptions ( log4cxx::helpers::Pool p)
virtual

Activate the options that were previously set with calls to option setters.

This allows to defer activiation of the options until all options have been set. This is required for components which have related options that remain ambigous until all are set.

For example, the FileAppender has the File and Append options both of which are ambigous until the other is also set.

Implements RollingPolicyBase.

Implements RollingPolicyBase.

int getMaxIndex ( ) const
int getMinIndex ( ) const
virtual RolloverDescriptionPtr initialize ( const LogString file,
const bool  append,
log4cxx::helpers::Pool p 
)
virtual

Initialize the policy and return any initial actions for rolling file appender.

Parameters
filecurrent value of RollingFileAppender::getFile().
appendcurrent value of RollingFileAppender::getAppend().
ppool used for any required memory allocations.
Returns
Description of the initialization, may be null to indicate no initialization needed.
Exceptions
SecurityExceptionif denied access to log files.

Implements RollingPolicy.

void rollover ( )
virtual RolloverDescriptionPtr rollover ( const LogString activeFile,
log4cxx::helpers::Pool p 
)
virtual

Prepare for a rollover.

This method is called prior to closing the active log file, performs any necessary preliminary actions and describes actions needed after close of current log file.

Parameters
activeFilefile name for current active log file.
ppool used for any required memory allocations.
Returns
Description of pending rollover, may be null to indicate no rollover at this time.
Exceptions
SecurityExceptionif denied access to log files.

Implements RollingPolicy.

void setMaxIndex ( int  newVal)
void setMinIndex ( int  newVal)
void setOption ( const LogString option,
const LogString value 
)
virtual

Set option to value.

The handling of each option depends on the OptionHandler instance. Some options may become active immediately whereas other may be activated only when activateOptions is called.

Reimplemented from RollingPolicyBase.
