How to rotate tomcat stdout log file and stderr log file based on Size limit

Question

Does anybody have idea about below case. How can I make tomcat logs rotate based on the size and time stamp? I have tried all scenarios by changing logging.properties file under tomcat/conf but I didn't get any luck.

In the web application we used lots of System.out.println statements to print the log in a log file tomcat6-stdout, which makes it huge.

How to make rotate stdout and stderr files based on the size and timestamp (per day)?

Environment: Tomcat server 6.0.44, Windows XP. Immediate response really appreciable.

Solution

Limit the filesize: Djava.util.logging.FileHandler.limit=25000000
