Description

I am trying to use the rolling appender to create a new log file each day in a dated folder. The initial file creation works fine but when the rollover is triggered a FileNotFound exception is thrown.

 

Config:
**
<Appenders>
     <RollingFile  name="RollingFileAppender"
        filePattern="logDir/%d{yyyyMMdd}/processor.log">
      <PatternLayout> 
            <Pattern>%d [%t] %-5level %logger{36}:%L - %msg%n%throwable</Pattern>
      </PatternLayout>
      <Policies>
            <!-- the logs get rolled over into a date named log file every day (filePattern)-->
            <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicyinterval="1"modulate="true"/>
       </Policies>
 
       <DirectWriteRolloverStrategy/>
   </RollingFile>

</Appenders>
 
looks like it could be an easy fix by adding a mkDirs call in createOutputStream() of FileManager class
