Tomcat: log4j doesn't rotate log-file

Have an odd problem with log-file rotating.

We use log4j.

In [...]/apache-tomcat-5.5.23/conf/log4j.xml file have:

<appender name="FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<param name="maxFileSize" value="100MB" />
<param name="maxBackupIndex" value="20" />

Tomcat runnig with this file:

-Dlog4j.configuration=/home/***/apache-tomcat-5.5.23/conf/log4j.xml

But file for now 1.1G. About week ago it's worked correct.

First idea was that sombody locked it - but then I test this very Tomcat on other server where nobody else can be logged in - and have 186M filesize...

What cause of this problem can be else? Thanks.

Found problem...

Java-devs make an typo while updating log4j.xml:

What we have:

<appender name="FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">

But must be:

<appender name="FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
