Renaming log file

Question

I am using Daily Rolling File Appender to generate log files.
Currently my log files are generated as "Filename.log.date"
I would like to rename this as "Filename.log.sequence of numbers" like
"Filename.log.1", "Filename.log.2" and so on.
Also as each day passes, the file which was named as "Filename.log.1" should be renamed as "Filename.log.2"
Please provide suggestions as to what to do.

Answer 1

I guess you did not understand my question
Here's the code
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Timer;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout;
import org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender;
public class LogManager{
     public static Logger logger = null;
     private static String logFileName = "filename.log";
     private static int numberOfLogsFilesToKeep = 10;
      * Method initialize initializes logging related parameters.
      * @param logFolderPath The log folder path
      * @param logLevel The log level for filtering
     public static void initialize(String logFolderPath, String logLevel){
          try{
               logger = Logger.getLogger(LogManager.class);
               PatternLayout layout = new PatternLayout("%d [%-5p] %C %M():: %m"+"/");
               String pattern = "'.'yyyy-MM-dd";
               DailyRollingFileAppender appender = null;
                              appender.activateOptions();
               logger.addAppender(appender);
               logger.setLevel(Level.toLevel(logLevel));In my Daily Rolling File Appender, the log file will be generated as filename.log.2008.1.28 . I want to rename it as filename.log.1, filename.log.2 and so on as a sequence.
