Hello, I've never extended any of the Log4j classes before, although I've been using Log4j for more than 2 years now. I have this new requirement to roll logs based on size, but instead of rotating them as RollingFileAppender does, I should just append a timestamp to the rolled file and that's it. (The application needn't worry about filling up the file system because that will be someone else's responsibility.) So, could someone please confirm whether my idea of extending RollingFileAppender and overriding the rollOver() method is the simplest and most straightforward thing to do that will meet the requirement?
Fyi, I've read the plan web page, and I eagerly await the rolling strategy feature for the 1.3 release. Imo, this feature should have been present from the get-go, i.e., separate the policy and mechanism features of file appenders so users can have a wide latitude in mixing and matching policies and mechanisms depending on the requirements they have.
