#177 a rolling-appenders question

[guang11cheng]

1. In the DailyRollingFileAppender class, the maxBackupIndex property seems to be not implemented.
2. Can I use the DailyRollingFileAppender and the RollingFileAppender at the same time? I want an appender that has both the property of DailyRollingFileAppender and the RollingFileAppender, which firstly rolling daily (just like DailyRollingFileAppender) and secondly rolling by size during the same day (just like RollingFileAppender).

ad 1. The MaxBackupIndex is implemented but it likely does not do what you expect. From documentation for DailyRollingFileAppender:

"This property limits how many backup files are kept per single logging period; e.g. how many log.2009-11-07.1, log.2009-11-07.2 etc. files are kept."

ad 2. This is indeed not implemented. I will keep this ticket open for this feature request.

Is there any progress or plan of the "MixRollingFileAppender " I have requested? Thanks
