IIRC the "rotatable" option was added several years ago and does not exist in such old version as 6.0.20. Another reason for an upgrade? You can use java.util.logging.FileHandler class. Tomcat JULI can use any java.util.logging handlers. (E.g. the default configuration already uses ConsoleHandler).
