Thanks Heri for you advice. The pattern with having the date also for current files is not fix. I can live with the pattern applicationlog.<clientid>.log for the most current log.
Your solution was to implement a custom RepositorySelector, wasn't it? What I can't see in your solution was the place where I set the filename. You've said something about getting the FileAppender? Can you please explain?
