<code><a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_rolling_file_appender.html">RollingFileAppender</a></code> extends <a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1_file_appender.html">log4cxx::FileAppender</a> to backup the log files depending on <a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_rolling_policy.html">RollingPolicy</a> and <a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_triggering_policy.html">TriggeringPolicy</a>.
<p>
To be of any use, a <code><a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_rolling_file_appender.html">RollingFileAppender</a></code> instance must have both a <code><a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_rolling_policy.html">RollingPolicy</a></code> and a <code><a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_triggering_policy.html">TriggeringPolicy</a></code> set up. However, if its <code><a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_rolling_policy.html">RollingPolicy</a></code> also implements the <code><a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_triggering_policy.html">TriggeringPolicy</a></code> interface, then only the former needs to be set up. For example, <a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_time_based_rolling_policy.html">TimeBasedRollingPolicy</a> acts both as a <code><a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_rolling_policy.html">RollingPolicy</a></code> and a <code><a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_triggering_policy.html">TriggeringPolicy</a></code>.<p>
<code><a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_rolling_file_appender.html">RollingFileAppender</a></code> can be configured programattically or using <a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1xml_1_1_d_o_m_configurator.html">log4cxx::xml::DOMConfigurator</a>. Here is a sample configration file:<p>
<pre>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration&gt;</pre><p>
<pre> &lt;log4j:configuration debug="true"&gt;</pre><p>
<pre> &lt;appender name="ROLL" class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender"&gt;
<b>&lt;rollingPolicy class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"&gt;
&lt;param name="FileNamePattern" value="/wombat/foo.d{yyyy-MM}.gz"/&gt;
&lt;/rollingPolicy&gt;</b></pre><p>
<pre> &lt;layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"&gt;
&lt;param name="ConversionPattern" value="c{1} - mn"/&gt;
&lt;/layout&gt;
&lt;/appender&gt;</pre><p>
<pre> &lt;root"&gt;
&lt;appender-ref ref="ROLL"/&gt;
&lt;/root&gt;</pre><p>
<pre> &lt;/log4j:configuration&gt;
</pre><p>
This configuration file specifies a monthly rollover schedule including automatic compression of the archived files. See <a class="el" href="classlog4cxx_1_1rolling_1_1_time_based_rolling_policy.html">TimeBasedRollingPolicy</a> for more details.
