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.

Member Function Documentation

activateOptions()

void log4cxx::rolling::FixedWindowRollingPolicy::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 log4cxx::rolling::RollingPolicyBase.

initialize()

RolloverDescriptionPtr log4cxx::rolling::FixedWindowRollingPolicy::initialize ( const LogString &  currentActiveFile, const bool  append, log4cxx::helpers::Pool &  pool  )

virtual

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

Parameters

currentActiveFile	current value of RollingFileAppender.getFile().
append	current value of RollingFileAppender.getAppend().
pool	pool for memory allocations during call.

Returns

Description of the initialization, may be null to indicate no initialization needed.

Exceptions

SecurityException

if denied access to log files.

Implements log4cxx::rolling::RollingPolicy.

rollover() [2/2]

RolloverDescriptionPtr log4cxx::rolling::FixedWindowRollingPolicy::rollover ( const LogString &  currentActiveFile, const bool  append, log4cxx::helpers::Pool &  pool  )

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

currentActiveFile	file name for current active log file.
append	current value of the parent FileAppender.getAppend().
pool	pool for memory allocations during call.

Returns

Description of pending rollover, may be null to indicate no rollover at this time.

Exceptions

SecurityException

if denied access to log files.

Implements log4cxx::rolling::RollingPolicy.

setOption()

void log4cxx::rolling::FixedWindowRollingPolicy::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.
