You can create multiple logs file by using same log4j properties file or you can send logs to multiple files by using same log4j file.

Add this below to your log4j properties file.

log4j.rootLogger=TRACE, stdout
log4j.appender.dataLogs=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.dataLogs.File=logs/logFile1.log
log4j.appender.dataLogs.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.dataLogs.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%24F:%t:%L] - %m%n
log4j.appender.reportsLog=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.reportsLog.File=logs/logFile2.log
log4j.appender.reportsLog.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.reportsLog.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%24F:%t:%L] - %m%n

log4j.category.dataLogger=TRACE, dataLogs
log4j.additivity.debugLogger=false
log4j.category.reportsLogger=DEBUG, reportsLog
log4j.additivity.reportsLogger=false

Then configure the loggers in the code accordingly as shown below:

static final Logger debugLog = Logger.getLogger("dataLogger");
static final Logger resultLog = Logger.getLogger("reportsLogger");

package com.avaya.deletelogs;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FilenameFilter;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class DeleteLogs {

 private String baseDir = "/opt/java/IVRLog";
 private int daysBack = 4;

 public void invokeProcess() {
  getFolders();
 }

 public void getFolders() {

  try {
   File file = new File(baseDir);
   String[] directories = file.list(new FilenameFilter() {

    public boolean accept(File current, String name) {
     return new File(current, name).isDirectory();
    }
   });
   deleteFiles(daysBack, baseDir, Arrays.asList(directories));
  } catch (Exception e) {
   System.out.println(e);
  }
 }

 public void deleteFiles(int daysBack, String dirWay, List< string> directories) {
  for (String dir : directories) {
   deleteFilesOlderThanNdays(daysBack, dir);
  }

 }

 public void deleteFilesOlderThanNdays(int daysBack, String dirWay) {

  File directory = new File(baseDir + "/" + dirWay);
  if (directory.exists()) {

   File[] listFiles = directory.listFiles();
   long purgeTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - (daysBack * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
   for (File listFile : listFiles) {
    try {
     if (listFile.isFile()) {
      if (listFile.lastModified() < purgeTime) {
       if (!listFile.delete()) {
        System.err.println("Unable to delete file: " + listFile);
       }
      }
     } else {
      continue;
     }
    } catch (Exception e) {
     System.out.println(e);
    }
   }
  }
 }

}

What’s the difference between @Component, @Controller, @Repository & @Service annotations in Spring?

Partial Dependency

In Setter Injection, partial dependency is possible, means if we have 4 dependencies as mentioned below,



Then it is not necessary to inject all values if we are using setter injection.

But in Constructor Injection, partial dependency is not possible because we are calling the constructor of that class.

Overriding

Changes

Number of dependencies

If we have dependencies for example 17 in our bean class then, in this case setter injection is not recommended as we need to write almost 17 setters right, bean length will increase.

In this case, Constructor injection is highly recommended, as we can inject all the dependencies with in 3 to 4 lines by calling one constructor.
