> When using logback under Windows over Oracle Application Server, if you redeploy the web application, the log file is keep open by some reason so when a new rollover happens it fails to rename the log file.
> Currently RenameUtil does:
> - Try to rename log file.
> - If rename fails then rename by copy (copy plus delete).
> If for some reason deletion fails the log file keeps all its content so I just added a truncate if deletion fails:
> - Try to rename log file.
> - If rename fails then rename by copy (copy plus delete).
> - If delete fails then truncate file.
> I do have a patch file if it's useful.
