rotating tomcat logs

Does Tomcat have a directive for rotating logs?

I would like to rotate out the following logs:

admin.log
catalina.log
host-manager.log
localhost.log
localhost_access_log
manager.log

or do I need to rotate them out manually, e.g.

cp -p admin.log admin.`date +%Y-%m-%d`.log
cat /dev/null > admin.log
--

Or use logrotate (that is, if you use some Unix variant and the program exists).
