> Hi Guys,
> I used _log4j_ in the past, and its {{RollingFileAppender}} has the possibility to compress the rolled file. It would be a nice feature in _log4net_ too, because it is much easier to handle the rolled files in compressed format. After a lot of searching I did not find a built-in solution in _log4net_ for compression, I decided to implement it. I wanted to do it using the {{RollFile}} method, but I was not able to do it, because the {{RollFile}} method is not _virtual_ this time. So the solution was for me: I copied the {{RollingFileAppender}} into a custom namespace, made its {{RollFile}} _virtual_, and wrote a subclass which had a customized {{RollFile}} method. At least a _virtual_ {{RollFile}} method would be useful too.
> Thanks:
> Ferenc
