the below xml configuration works for me
<appender name="PatternFileAppender"
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>
<rollingPolicy class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<param name="FileNamePattern"
value="/home/dirk/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/logs/myApp.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.gz"/>
</rollingPolicy>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss}, %p,
%c{1}] %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
