Hi Dan, I am aware of the concerns, it is a legacy system that is already being phased out. The log files are rotated out of box but they cannot be automatically compressed or deleted after a waiting period, which is the functionality I want. Does the JULI logger not work as documented? Sure there are other ways to keep the logs cleaned up, but my question is specifically regarding the rotatable option for JULI. -- -Vye --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
