log4j log file with title line

[alejandrina]

Is this possible? We'd like to use log4j to write a csv file (really a
result file, not a log) and it would be nice if we could include the
title, but it does not seem possible. The HTML appender does have the
option of title and footer, but HTML is not suitable for us.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alejandrina

I wanted to clarify a few things:

Putting a title message is of course not difficult in itself. The
problem is determine if the file is new, that's when you need the
title. Further, in our configuration, the log file is being written to
by multiple machines using a SocketAppender, so when is it the right
time to write the title?

Thanks for any ideas,
