log4j combination

[Chen Yanush]

Hi,
For my application I am using the DailyRollingFileAppender. Is there a way to add maxFileSize parameter of RollingFileAppender?
Maybe there is a plug-in for this kind of combination?

Thanks

You would need to write your own subclass. As it is, you can either roll over on reaching the maximum file size, or on reaching a certain point in time (e.g. midnight), but not both. If you want to combine them, you'd also need to come up with a new file naming scheme.

How can I add a new appender to the project ?

Do you mean how to write a new one, or how to contribute one you're written back to the project? If the former, use RollingFileAppender.java or DailyRollingFileAppender.java as an example; maybe you can even extend one of them. If the latter, post a message to the log4j developer mailing list, and they'll let you know how to proceed.
