Hi Jorge,
this is not from the Tomcat configuration but from my JBoss logging config, but
it should work just the same. There exists a DailyRollingFileAppender that
should work for this. The example I give you is from JBoss, that's why the
class name is JBoss-like. You can easily change that to the corresponding log4j
class.
<appender name="FILE"
class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender">
<errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
<param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/server.log"/>
<param name="Append" value="false"/>
<!-- Rollover at midnight each day -->
<param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
<!-- Rollover at the top of each hour
<param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH"/>
-->
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
<!-- The full pattern: Date MS Priority [Category] (Thread:NDC)
Message\n
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5r %-5p [%c] (%t:%x)
%m%n"/>
-->
</layout>
</appender>
I hope this helps you.
Peter
