e401. Limiting the Size of a Log FileBy default, a log file can grow without bound. It is possible to limit the size of the file by specifying the desired limit when creating a file handler. When a record is about to be logged and the file size is greater than the limit, the file is emptied before the record is logged. This example creates a file handler with a limit.See also e402 Limiting the Size of a Log by Using a Rotating Sequence of Files. try { // Create a file handler with a limit of 1 megabytes String pattern = "my.log"; int limit = 1000000; // 1 Mb FileHandler fh = new FileHandler("my.log", limit, 1); // Add to logger Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.mycompany"); logger.addHandler(fh); } catch (IOException e) { }
