You can include a java.text.SimpleDateFormat string enclosed
within "${}" in the "path" specification of <LogSetter> in
the server.xml. For example, the <LogSetter> for the
"servlet_log" in the default server.xml uses:
path="logs/servlet-${yyyyMMdd}.log"
This causes a new log to be started each day. Note that
Tomcat 3.3.1 and earlier still write/rewrite a new file when
Tomcat is restarted. The Tomcat 3.3.x nightly has been updated
to append.
