[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-548) Changing append on a file handler indicates a reload is required when a restart is required

[David Lloyd (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-548?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13041110#comment-13041110 ] 

David Lloyd commented on WFCORE-548:
------------------------------------

Maybe we should make this not require reload *or* restart?  Changing the "append" setting shouldn't cause any immediate behavioral change since the file is already open.  Turning off "append" shouldn't (for example) make the file suddenly disappear, and turning it on won't change anything either.  It should be safe to just let the change happen IMO.

> Changing the {{append}} attribute at runtime results in the following output:
> {code}
> [standalone at localhost:9990 /] /subsystem=logging/periodic-rotating-file-handler=FILE:write-attribute(name=append,value=false)
> {
>     "outcome" => "success",
>     "response-headers" => {
>         "operation-requires-reload" => true,
>         "process-state" => "reload-required"
>     }
> }
> {code}
> A {{reload}} operation does not stop a file from being appended to. Either the behavior needs to change or the {{process-state}} should be "restart-required".
> The issue is likely the file name is checked during boot and hasn't changed therefore the it's not set which would cause the stream to the file to be closed and reopened without the append.
