Thanks for that. What if the files reached the max
number of the configured value? Is there a way
I　to delete the files so the hard disk won't
get full?
I am using windows system, and I need to keep the logs
for sometime for late use.

On a Unix-like platform, you can just write your log files to the /
tmp directory which will be deleted on the next restart. You can use
"${java.io.tmpdir}" in a configuration file to specify that in a
platform-independent manner, but I do not believe that temporary
directories get deleted automatically on Windows.
Or you can use a RollingFileAppender which would allow you to specify
a maximum file size that a log file should be able grow to before
being closed and renamed and specify the maximum number of old log
files that should be preserved.
