Large blank space in server.log after defining custom append

[ddevore]

I am getting a very large space at the begining of the server.log once I defined a appender for an application log. The space does not seem to appear untill I write something to the custom log.

Here is my definition in the log4j.xml (I also tried false for the append value)

<!-- A time/date based rolling appender for application logs -->





<!-- Rollover at midnight each day -->
<param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>

<!-- Rollover at the top of each hour
<param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH"/>
-->


<!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->


<!-- The full pattern: Date MS Priority [Category] (Thread:NDC) Message\n

-->




Thanks for any help

Lets try this one instead.

Here is my definition in the log4j.xml (I also tried false for the append value)

 <!-- A time/date based rolling appender for application logs -->
 <appender name="Application" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender">
 <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
 <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/Application.log"/>
 <param name="Append" value="true"/>

 <!-- Rollover at midnight each day -->
 <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>

 <!-- Rollover at the top of each hour
 <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH"/>
 -->

 <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
 <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>

 <!-- The full pattern: Date MS Priority [Category] (Thread:NDC) Message\n
 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5r %-5p [%c] (%t:%x) %m%n"/>
 -->
 </layout>
 </appender>

Anyone have any idea why I would be getting large spaces in the server.log?
