[logback-user] TimeBasedRollingPolicy

[Lang, Johannes]

Hello,

i'm trying to get a RollingFileAppender with a TimeBasedRollingPolicy
working, but i don't succeed.
Here's my Appender-Configuration (which i copied from the
logback-manual; only changed the layout):

  <appender name="FILE"
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
    <File>logFile.log</File>
    <rollingPolicy
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
 
<FileNamePattern>logFile.%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm}.log</FileNamePattern>
    </rollingPolicy>

    <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
      <Pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} -
%msg%n</Pattern>
    </layout>
  </appender> 

And this is some of the debug-output from the Joran-Configurator:

	09:06:48,703 |-INFO in
ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - Naming appender as

Everything seems correct. "Roll-over every minute" is just what i want
to do. But what really happens is, that all logging is written to the
file "logFile.log". There is no rollover. Any suggestions what's wrong
with my appender-config?

Cheers
