log file rolling problem

[Vishist Mandapaka <vi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
   We're using log4j through commons-logging framework. I'm looking at
a strange behavior where rolling of log files is not happening in
Websphere process server 6.0.2.23 version on Windows 2003/ JDK 1.4.x.
The same log4j configuration is used in Webshere portal, BEA Weblogic
and its working fine. It just with Websphere process server that I see
some strange issue. The application is loading the configuration file,
and the log file format is same as what I configured.
To rule out the possibility of permissions, I've created 10 roll over
files manually in the log directory. Strange thing is, whenever the
log file reaches its maximum size its deleting the roll-over file and
overwriting the same main log file.

I'm pasting log4j configuration here for reference. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.....
