We have a pringboot application running in podman container and we are doing some system testing on our application and the testers have found that if they delete the log file, log4j is not recreating it, or creating and populating a new one, while the application is running. In order to have the file created and populated, the application needs to be restarted.

somewhat expected, you wouldn't expect that file to be deleted in the progress of the program running

but anyways I have mounted that directory so even if I delete that file and any new logs are coming then it should ideally create thos files.Isn't that the right behaviour?

The right behavior is not to delete an open file

Is there any solution to this like any springboot releated or log4j2.xml releated or its like we just don't delete that?

It's not the sort of things someone would know. There are obviously ways to make your own fixes, but they would probably be very inefficient.
