As far as the home directory part log4cxx does support expanding
environment variables in the form of ${VARIABLE}.
For the other part I think you want a RollingFileAppender. Note there
are two different RollingFileAppenders:
org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender
org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
The first one cannot be configured from a properties file (requires
XML configuration). It is more general purpose but is more complex to
configure.
The second one is more equivalent to the class you linked to. The
equivalent file pattern on windows would be:
${USERPROFILE}/myApp%i.log
