Looking at https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6361. Our default setting for log/server.log is to re-create the file upon start-up. | <!-- A time/date based rolling appender --> | <appender name="FILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender"> | <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/> | <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.log.dir}/server.log"/> | <param name="Append" value="false"/> | I suppose this is a convenient setting for a developer environment, where you only need to keep the log for the latest run (although using a RollingFileAppender really contradicts the developer point, a plain FileAppender would be preferrable), but for a production environment you'll most probably want to keep the existing log content during a re-start. What do you think - should we switch to append == true? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4203357#...
