Check this class: * <p>CompositeRollingAppender combines RollingFileAppender and DailyRollingFileAppender<br> * It can function as either or do both at the same time (making size * based rolling files like RollingFileAppender until a data/time boundary * is crossed at which time it rolls all of those files as per the DailyRollingFileAppender) * based on the setting for <code>rollingStyle</code>.<br> * <br> * To use CompositeRollingAppender to roll log files as they reach a certain * size (like RollingFileAppender), set rollingStyle=1 (@see config.size)<br> * To use CompositeRollingAppender to roll log files at certain time intervals * (daily for example), set rollingStyle=2 and a datePattern (@see config.time)<br> * To have CompositeRollingAppender roll log files at a certain size AND rename those * according to time intervals, set rollingStyle=3 (@see config.composite)<br> * * <p>A of few additional optional features have been added:<br> * -- Attach date pattern for current log file (@see staticLogFileName)<br> * -- Backup number increments for newer files (@see countDirection)<br> * -- Infinite number of backups by file size (@see maxSizeRollBackups)<br> * <br> * <p>A few notes and warnings: For large or infinite number of backups * countDirection > 0 is highly recommended, with staticLogFileName = false if * time based rolling is also used -- this will reduce the number of file renamings * to few or none. Changing staticLogFileName or countDirection without clearing * the directory could have nasty side effects. If Date/Time based rolling * is enabled, CompositeRollingAppender will attempt to roll existing files * in the directory without a date/time tag based on the last modified date * of the base log files last modification.<br> * <br> * <p>A maximum number of backups based on date/time boundries would be nice * but is not yet implemented.<br>
