How do I configure a RollingFileAppender to roll by date and size with log4net?

Something is wrong with Log4Net?

Can you make the Tomcat 6 stdout.log file behave like a log4j DailyRollingFileAppender?

We are using the Windows installation of Tomcat 6. By default, the log4j output for our app goes to the ${catalina.base}/logs/stdout_.log file.
