I have already created such a mechanism, but the way described above would be much more cleaner. Too bad that this is not possible. I think this is should be a feature request for the future of FS.
Here is my solution:
public static void initDefaultLogging(ServerEnvironment environment, String filename, Class clazz) {
Logger moduleLogger = Logger.getLogger(clazz);
moduleLogger.setAdditivity(false);
try {
OutputStream out = environment.getLogDir().obtain(filename).getOutputStream();
PatternLayout layout = new PatternLayout("%d{ISO8601} %-5p [%t] %c: %m%n");
WriterAppender writeAppender = new WriterAppender(layout, out);
moduleLogger.addAppender(writeAppender);
} catch (IOException ex) {
logger.error("Module logger could not be initialized.", ex);
}
}
public static void initDailyRollingFileLogging(String directory, String filename, Class clazz) {
Logger moduleLogger = Logger.getLogger(clazz);
moduleLogger.setAdditivity(false);
try {
Path logPath = Paths.get(CMSServer.getRootDir(), CMSManager.MODULES_LOG_DIR);
String logFile = logPath.resolve(directory).resolve(filename).toString();
PatternLayout layout = new PatternLayout("%d{ISO8601} %-5p [%t] %c: %m%n");
DailyRollingFileAppender appender = new DailyRollingFileAppender(layout, logFile, "yyyy-MM-dd");
moduleLogger.addAppender(appender);
} catch (IOException ex) {
logger.error("Daily rolling file logger could not be initialized.", ex);
}
}
