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. Franck Routier wrote:
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 ?
