The TimeAndSizeRollingAppenderat www.simonsite.org.uk might do the trick by
configuration. You can configure a time-based rolling schedule via a date
pattern. There's also a scavenger built-in that will delete older backup log
files beyond a particular count. So if you configure the appender to roll
daily, and set the max backup count to the number of days you're interested in,
the scavenger will delete the files you no longer want. The scavenger runs in a
daemon thread so you don't have backup log files being maintained at the point
of rollover of the current log file.

Subject: Re: RollingFileAppender + TimeBasedRollingPolicy
Not that I can see. I think a FixedWindowRollingPolicy +
SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy would do what you need. Of course, it won't roll
based
on time, but on size. Basically, you'd get a maximum backup of 12 (or less
depending on what you configure) archived log files, which is hardly different
than deleting old files.
That said, you might be able to [ab]use a FilterBasedTriggeringPolicy to trigger
rolling based on time (and/or size).
Note that I have not tested this myself. It would be interesting to learn of
your
results.

Hi there,
Is there some param i can set in the log4j.xml to have the
TimeBasedRollingPolicy delete old files after x days?
Im sorry if this is handled in the doco and Im too stupid to find it :)
