JBOSS log rotation

[ran_sushmi]

I, have a query as to how is log rotation configured in the file which is I guess, log4j.xml. I, wanted to have a complete understanding of the entries in the configuration file as this looks to be a big file.

I hope, my question is clear.

Please, help in solving the doubt.

regards

JBossAS uses log4j to do its logging. The best place to get information on it is the log4j web site http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html or pick up a log4j book (the online docs are not very detailed)

The only additional piece of of information you need is that JBossAS comes with its own appenders - they extend the original log4j appenders adding extra code to create the server/xxx/log directory is it does not already exist.
