log4cxx attempts to reproduce the appender set from log4j and log4j has two different RollingFileAppender classes, org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender and org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender. The latter was developed on the abandoned log4j 1.3 development branch, is now included in the extras companion to log4j and supports pluggable rollover strategies and triggering strategies.
In log4cxx, log4cxx::RollingFileAppender (the analog to org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender) is implemented by delegation to log4cxx::rolling::RollingFileAppender (the analog to org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender). log4cxx::rolling::RollingFileAppender is the more general class and should be used unless you are porting configurations that used org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender.
