----------------------------------

Hello Alain,

Thank you for your report.

Before investigating, I would like to know whether multiple applications (as is JVM instances) are using the same configuration file. Alternatively, was the log file open by another application when this problem occurred?

> As example here is the logger configuration:
> <appender name="rdf-api-debug-file-appender" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
> 		<append>true</append>
> 		<filter class="ch.qos.logback.classic.filter.ThresholdFilter">
> 		     <level>debug</level>
> 		</filter>
> 		<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
> 			<fileNamePattern>D:/Temp/rdf-files/logs/%d{yyyy-MM-dd}/debug/rdf-api-debug.log.gz</fileNamePattern>
> 		</rollingPolicy>
> 		<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
> 			<pattern>%date,%-5level,%logger,%thread,%message%n</pattern>
> 		</layout>
> 	</appender>
> At Nov, 5th I see a directory "D:/Temp/rdf-files/logs/2008-11-04/debug" with the following files (and time of last modifucation):
> rdf-api-debug.log, November 05, 2008, 12:12:26 AM
> rdf-api-debug.log855980476945031.tmp, November 05, 2008, 12:11:52 AM
> rdf-api-debug.log856014875320881.tmp, November 05, 2008, 12:12:26 AM
> rdf-api-debug.log.gz,  November 05, 2008, 12:11:53 AM
> The first three files and the log file in the .gz-archive have all the same size.
> So compression works, but the original log file and the temporary files are not deleted.
> Our application uses several threads, perhaps this causes the problem.
