David Lloyd commented on LOGMGR-36:
-----------------------------------

I'm not sure.  The existing handlers aren't really set up to do this because the file name is already expanded by the time it is set.  This expansion logic actually resides in the AS.

> I'd make use of a FileHandler which would roll the file when a system property changes.
> For use case, see ARQ-710.
> The handler would have a property called, say,  fileNameFormat, which would be a string like:
> {code}
> my-server-log-${arq.currentTest}-${arq.containerId}.txt
> {code}
> The handler would replace the string every time and compare with previous; when different, it would roll the file.
> It would not be super efficient but good enough for the purposes of testing.
> (It would not be the default handler, only configured on demand.)
