DatedRollingFileAppender => also the actual file has the date in it this seems to cause less problems under windows
CompressingRollingFileAppender => zips the file after rolling CleaningCompressingRollingFileAppender => deletes all files (*ALL FILLES, not only log files!!!*) in the log directory older than specified max age an example config would be: # TRACE as a CleaningCompressingRollingFileAppender containing everything log4j.appender.TRACE=org.apache.log4j.CleaningCompressingRollingFileAppender log4j.appender.TRACE.File=log/connectivity.trace.%d.log # number of days that are keept log4j.appender.TRACE.maxAge=7 # to keep 30 minutes: (type uses constants from Calendar, default is days) #log4j.appender.TRACE.maxAge=30 #log4j.appender.TRACE.maxAgeType=12 log4j.appender.TRACE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.TRACE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d\t[%-30t]\t%-5p\t%C.%M\t%m%n comments are welcome... cheers patrick ps: yeah it sucks, that i put the classes into package org.apache.log4j but i had to ;-) pps: coding style?!? ahmmm, yeah well... ppps: naming?!? at least it says what it's going to do, right?
