log4j configuration - add config for rolling files based on time or date #350

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The current default log4j.xml uses the RollingFileAppender.

Requirements
=========
For cases where logfiles are to be moved and archived using some script-based 
approach it is hard to know which files to archive when logfiles are being 
re-used as with the RollingFileAppender (that adds suffixes like .1, .2, ... to 
old logfiles and re-uses those logfiles).
It would be much easier to move and archive files if logfiles weren't re-used.
Configuring log4j for this requirement should be easy to do in a consistent way.

Suggested solution
=============
Add a config block in log4j.xml that uses a time-based rolling of logfiles.
Do not make time-based rolling default, but write a note in log4j.xml on how to 
switch appender.

Also: document on wiki, and as a bonus, document on how to configure time-based 
rolling for the Mule-container logfiles (done in conf/wrapper.conf).
