log4j - trigger log rolling when application starts

With log4j, I want the behaviour of the DailyRollingFileAppender so that date-pattern based log rolling can occur when an application starts up. BUT once the application has started, I don't want it to do any automatic log rotation until the next time the application restarts. How can I configure log4j to do this?

Your specification sounds like you want the application to start, create a log file of a particular date, and to keep using that until it shuts down.

If that's the case, you may want to create your own Appender implementation, perhaps deriving from FileAppender

You will have to programatically set the logger properties by iterating over all the loggers, getting your logger and then asking ti not to roll anymore. Thats the only way I think.
