Yes, this is a good improvement.
But, I have few suggestions to make it better.

1. We will not start from scratch, instead, the new file will have an entry 
saying that the log file was backed up to the respective location, before 
starting with the logging procedure. This well help the potential user of the 
log file identify what is going on.
2. Need to find mechanisms to handle situations such as, if log entries are 
needed to be made during the process of backing up the log file. (Because, 
renaming and creating a new file takes some time)
This is handled in a thread mutex.

3. The user must be able to define the maximum size of the log file during 
installation. And, this value must lie between a pre-defined range, or else the 
default must be assumed.
Yes it is good to have the maximum size set during deployment. There are two options
1. Put an param entry in axis2.xml.
2. Give as server argument when starting.

Log file size increasing with no upper limit

Currently log file size increase with no upper limit. In a production environment this is not acceptable. To solve it I have provided a simple solution of after the file size exceeds a certain limit it automatically is backed up to a x.log.old file and log is written to from scratch.
