The Action interface should be implemented by any class that performs file system actions for RollingFileHandler after the close of the active log file.

Logging API as a whole was originally done for Apache log4j. Juli is a port of main parts of that to complete the Java Logging APIs. All credits for initial idea, design, implementation, documentation belong to the log4j crew. This file was originally published by Curt Arnold. Please use exclusively the appropriate mailing lists for questions, remarks and contribution.
