How should a log4j properties file be configured so that messages won't be appended for each run to the same log file? Currently weeks worth of logged messages have been rolled into the same log file making it huge and difficult to work with. &nbsp;I want to have a fresh log file containing only the current runs logged messages. I don't want separate logs for each run. One log is enough containing one runs worth of messages at a time.<br />
<br />
I am currently using the following log4j.properties file configurations:<br />
log4j.rootLogger = INFO, F<br />
log4j.appender.F=org.apach<wbr />e.log4j.Fi<wbr />leAppender<wbr /><br />
log4j.appender.F.File=/usr<wbr />/local/adm<wbr />in/logs/QA<wbr />SBulk.log<br />
log4j.appender.F.layout=or<wbr />g.apache.l<wbr />og4j.Patte<wbr />rnLayout<br />
log4j.appender.F.layout.Co<wbr />nversionPa<wbr />ttern=[%d{<wbr />MMM dd HH:mm:ss}] (%-5p) - %m - at (%F:%L)%n<br />

Thanks<br />

How to use log4j with appending more log messages

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Java

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java EE

Java application servers that support the Java EE platform and features include JOnAS from Object Web, WildFly (formerly JBoss AS) from JBoss, Geronimo from Apache, TomEE from Apache, Resin Java Application Server from Caucho Technology, Blazix from Desiderata Software, Enhydra Server from Enhydra.org, and GlassFish from Oracle. Commercial Java app servers include WebLogic by Oracle, WebSphere from IBM and the open source JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) by Red Hat.
