i made 3 extensions to DailyRoling file appender: 1) dated => the current logfile will also include the date and will not be renamed on rolling 2) compressing => old logs are compressed. 3) "cleaning" => stupid name but it will delete all files ending with zip which are older than the given max date.
you can have a look at it and write your own appender which does exactly what you want. it's not difficult... you probably should do some tests tough http://www.nabble.com/file/5911/log4jCompressingAppender-src.zip > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: DM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 1.
