RE: Regarding Log File size and logging different messages to dif fere nt appenders.

[Venugopal Siripuram <sv...@wilco-int.com>]

	Hi, Naveen..
	1) You can limit the size of the file specifing the attribute 'size'
in an appender tag
	<param name="File"   value="example.log"/> 
	<param name=MaxFileSize value=100KB/>
	 The output will  be directed to the example.log file. This file
will be rolled over when it reaches 100KB. When roll-over occurs, the old
version of example.log is automatically moved to example.log.1. 
	2)to write log messages which satisfies the exact match of priority
level to a particular appender
	u can specify the following tag with in the appender tag
	<filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.PriorityMatchFilter">
	                  <param name="PriorityToMatch" value="WARN" />
	                  <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true" />
	</filter>
	for more information on this see
org.apache.log4j.varia.PriorityMatchFilter
	of the documentation
