Description

My config is very simple:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' strict="true" monitorInterval="5">
  <appenders>
    <appender type="console" name="CONSOLE">
      <layout type="PatternLayout" pattern="%5p %10c %C{1}(%L) - %m%n"/>
    </appender>
    <appender name="BOOT" type="rollingfile" fileName="boot.log" filePattern="boot-%i.log" append="true">
      <layout type="PatternLayout" pattern="%5p %10c %C{1}(%L) - %m %ex%n"/>
      <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="1 kb" />
      <DefaultRolloverStrategy />
    </appender>
  </appenders>
  <loggers>
    <root level="all">
      <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
      <appender-ref ref="BOOT"/>
    </root>
  </loggers>
</configuration>

This is because when you create a RollingFileAppender again it uses the previously created RollingFileManager obtained from MAP (AbstractManager (69)). But in my case, the name is already exists, so appropriate manager already been created. But "data" parameter are not the same when manager was created at first time. It contains new value of policy.
