Can't use path with parenthesis for logging ------------------------------------------- Key: LBCORE-130 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-130 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Bug Components: Pattern Affects Versions: 0.9.16 Reporter: Matthias Assignee: Logback dev list Priority: Minor I configured following appender: <appender name="WS_LOG" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <Encoding>UTF-8</Encoding> <File>${catalina.home}/logs/webserver.log</File> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> <FileNamePattern>${catalina.home}/logs/webserver.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePattern> <MaxHistory>14</MaxHistory> </rollingPolicy> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <PresentationHeader>ARCHIKART Webserver Logs</PresentationHeader> <Pattern>%date{dd.MM HH:mm:ss} %-20.20(%level [%thread]) - %msg%n</Pattern> </layout> </appender> In this case ${catalina.home} is "C:\Program Files (x86)\webserver". When the logback.xml is parsed the path "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\webserver\\/logs/webserver.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log" is only parsed to "C:\\Program Files (x86". That's why it causes an exception "FileNamePattern ... does not contain a valid DateToken" in TimeBasedRollingPolicy. When I use a path without parenthesis logging works fine. But this is the default program files directory on windows vista 64bit. I did not test 0.9.18, because I thought it would be a bigger work to change the logging of the server. I did not read anything of this in the Jira, so I think this error might still exist. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
