How do you get log4j to roll files based on date and size?

Question

So log4j comes with two existing log rollers: RollingFileAppender, and DailyRollingFileAppender. Has anyone heard of an appender that does both of what the former do?

Too late to reply. But hopefully this will help someone.

Add log4j dependency to your pom.xml file

   
        log4j
        log4j
        1.2.17
    

Grab a copy of this FileAppender implementation. Thanks to the author of this file.

Place this log4j.xml file in your resources folder

To do a quick test:

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class Main {

    static public void main(String[] args) {
        Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Main.class);
        for(int i = 0; i < 10000; i ++)
            log.info("Testing log");
        }
}

Done!!
