if you choose to let tomcat rotate them, you can choose to compress and
remove them when they are X days old with cron. just one solution.
something like this:
# compress rotated logs, remove 7 day old compressed logs
1 0 * * * [[ -d /path/to/logs ]]&& find /path/to/logs -maxdepth 1 -type f
-name "*.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9].log" -exec bzip2 '{}'
\; ; [[ -d /path/to/logs ]]&& find /path/to/logs -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime
+7 -name "*.bz2" -exec rm -f '{}' \;
but you're probably better off using logrotate to handle this
rotate/removal logic.
