Description

RollingRandomAccessFileAppender should be able to create files lazily.

Add a createOnDemand="true|false" attribute to RollingRandomAccessFileAppender. The default is "false" for backward compatibility (which we can revisit of course).

If that goes well, do the same for other types file appenders (rolling and random access).
