Using MaxFileSize with DailyRollingFileAppender

Hi Guys

I appreciate that the DailyRollingFileAppender rolls daily as in its name, but what I am really looking for is to have log files generated whose filenames consist of the current date but also get rolled over based on a maxfilesize...something like the following, but this does not work. This is so that our log files do not get huge as we use a small java program to open them and it takes ages with a large file.

log4j.appender.ApplicationA=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.ApplicationA.File=application.log
log4j.appender.ApplicationA.MaxFileSize=200KB
#log4j.appender.ApplicationA.MaxBackupIndex=5
log4j.appender.ApplicationA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ApplicationA.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p %l : %m%n

Cheers, ADC
