JavaService append mode instead of truncating log file

[uy_do]

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place or not, but after trying google &
asking Mutiplan guys without any results, I decide to post it here to see if
anyone ever experienced the same problem.
I'm developing a java application that is deployed as a service on windows
2000, and I use JavaService as the tool. It works fine until I find out that
whenever I restart the service, the log file/error file is truncated instead
of appending to it and the old information was wiped out. I tried the class
FileOutputStream(File,append) , but the files(both the log & error files)
were still truncated.
The code I use is retyped here as a reference:
------------------
static bool redirectSystemErr(HANDLE hEventSource, JNIEnv *env, char
*errFile)
{
.......
jobject fileOutputStream = env->NewObject(fileOutputStreamClass,
fileOutputStreamConstructor, filePathString,true);
......
}

1. boolean in java maps to jboolean in C
2. Check whether fileOutputStreamConstructor is FileOutputStream(File file,
boolean append) or FileOutputStream(File file)
