If you do go the gzip on output route then watch out for http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4691425 . It basically means that Java can't read gzip files that it built in an append style or that someone built like this: gzip * > ~/dir_dump.gz --Nik On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 8:56 AM, Franck Routier <franck.routier@axege.com>wrote:
Thanks for your quick answer.
Maybe I'll rather gzip my file once the appender is closed then...

The file appender only offers compression support when the log files are rotated. I think you'll have to extend the appender if you want to compress while you write. However, this could be dangerous as the appender may be closed out unexpectedly (e.g. if the VM is killed or stopped) which would could leave you with a corrupted archive.

Hi all,
I am programatically creating and using a FileAppender. I would like it to gzip on the fly the resulting File. Is there a way to do this, or do I have to extend and implement it by myself ?
