Class FileWriter

  org.log5j.Writer
      org.log5j.writer.FileWriter

public final class FileWriter
extends Writer

FileWriter writes log messages to a file.

FileWriter recognises two configuration properties;

• append: If true, append messages to the end of the file if it exists already; Over-write any existing file if false. The rules for setting the value of append are those of the Boolean.valueOf(String) method.
• filename: The name of the file to write to. If filename is not an absolute path, It will be relative to the runtime directory of the JVM.
