[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBAS-3111) JBOSS does not release handle of log files even when logging is complete

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3111?page=all ]

Dimitris Andreadis closed JBAS-3111.
------------------------------------

    Resolution: Rejected

I don't think this is a jboss issue, maybe a log4j one. If the logger is configured to use org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender, doen't that let you remove the older/renamed logs?

> JBOSS does not release log file handle even when logging is complete. So we cannot delete log files no longer needed unless we restart the jboss server. To elaborate the scenario Consider the following:- 
>  
> Suppose there is an web application. one of its engines run 5 times a day and each run generates 10 log files. JBOSS is up for a year, it will contains 18000 odd open file handle which is not acceptable.
> JBOSS version 3.2.3
