Setting Appender's fields in Apache's Log4J

Question

Hi,
In the following code snippet (which is written to create a FileAppender & make log4J log to that file):
import org.apache.log4j.*;
class sample
HTMLLayout layout = new HTMLLayout();
layout.TITLE_OPTION = "DataSE Log";
String logFileName = "Log.txt";
Appender appender = new FileAppender(layout, logFileName, true);
appender.immediateFlush = false;
appender.bufferedIO = true;
appender.bufferSize = 64;
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger();
logger.addAppender(appender);
the above snippet is not inside any method. Its directly within the class. In the above snippet, I am encountering 2 types of errors:
1. Am using the fields of the classes FileAppender & layout. The usage seems to be wrong, because am getting the error "'synatx error on token(s); misplaced construct(s)" & similar errors.
2. how to specify the bufferSize? Just as '64' or '64K'?
Thanks.

1. Am using the fields of the classes FileAppender &
layout. The usage seems to be wrong, because am
getting the error "'synatx error on token(s);
misplaced construct(s)" & similar errors. logger.addAppender(appender);
You can't have statements like those there. At least use a static initializer (static { ... } ) to do all the stuff you're doing.
2. how to specify the bufferSize? Just as '64' or
'64K'?Wouldn't that depend on the type of the field and its usage? RTFAPI.
