Need help with JBoss log files

[Chris Yoerg <ch...@yoerg.net>]

I'm creating a custom log file within JBoss using a log4j.xml config
file.  I've successfully made the custom logger track actions of users
within the application in question, utilizing the following
configuration information(I'm getting the proper info).  
 
I want the appender to create a new file every day, rather than
overwrite the same file, creating a history record of all changes made
to the database, which must be kept forever (it's for a law firm you
know).  
 
The behavior I want is similar to the localhost_access(date).log files
that tomcat creates.  I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me
what modifications I need to make to the log4j.xml file to do this
properly.  
 
I have looked in the archives, and the JBoss documentation doesn't tell
me what to do.  
 
Thank you.

These are the modifications to log4j.xml file that I have made so far.
