Hi Prashant Karmankar,

That is what the DailyRollingFileAppender does - if you leave the app server running, you should see that at midnight a new server log is created. But I suspect that what you are doing is stopping the app server at the end of the day and starting it again the next morning. In that case, the new server log simply overwrites the old server log.
There are other appenders that you can use. The Log4J documentation describes some of them. For others you will have to read the log4j javadocs. Also, many of the appenders you can configure to append new log information to the existing log file, rather than replacing the log file. Perhaps that will help accomplish you goal.
Note that JBossAS has an wrapper class for every Log4j appender. For example, the wrapper for org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender is org.jboss.logging.appender.RollingFileAppender. You should always use the JBossAS wrappers in the jboss-log4j.xml configuration file.
