Thanks Andre! But when tomcat5 starts, it will generate a file like stdout_yyyymmdd.log, but when it runs for a couple of days, there will be only one file, and all the infos are appended to that file. What I want is that tomcat can automatic generate multiple files such as one file one day so that the single log file will not be so large. Like in log4j, I can set the parameter like "log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender" so that everyday it will generate a new file.
in the "logging" tab page, I can only redirect the stdout to a single file. Does it support parameters like "D:\Tomcat 5.5\logs\{%date%}.log"?
