Extra RollingFileAppender with NLOG4j

[Kenneth.Lam]

I'm trying to get the RollingFileAppender from the extra log4j companion file 
working but I'm having problems configuring the appender.  I am using this with 
the most current version of NLOG4J

The following is my config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";>
    <appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
        <param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p %c{1} - %m%n"/>
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <appender name="logFileAppender" 
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        <rollingPolicy class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
            <param name="FileNamePattern" 
value="/log/metrics.%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}.log" />
        </rollingPolicy>
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%m%n" />
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <!--         -->
    <!-- Loggers -->
    <!--         -->
    <logger name="com.barcap.eq.common.metric.LoggingMetric" additivity="false">
        <level value="INFO" />
        <appender-ref ref="console" />
        <appender-ref ref="logFileAppender" />
    </logger>

    <root>
        <priority value ="debug" />
        <appender-ref ref="console" />
    </root>

</log4j:configuration>


At startup, I get the following errors:
log4j:ERROR Element type "rollingPolicy" must be declared.
log4j:ERROR The content of element type "appender" must match 
"(errorHandler?,param*,layout?,filter*,appender-ref*)".

If I attempt to write to the appender, I then get:
log4j:WARN Please set a rolling policy for the RollingFileAppender named 
'logFileAppender'
log4j:ERROR No output stream or file set for the appender named 
[logFileAppender].

I think the issue is that the rollingPolicy element isn't defined in log4j.dtd 
but I'm not sure how to proceed with this.  Is NLOG4J not compatible with the 
companion jar?

Thanks.
