/**
 *  

CompositeRollingAppender combines RollingFileAppender and DailyRollingFileAppender
* It can function as either or do both at the same time (making size * based rolling files like RollingFileAppender until a data/time boundary * is crossed at which time it rolls all of those files as per the DailyRollingFileAppender) * based on the setting for rollingStyle.
*
* To use CompositeRollingAppender to roll log files as they reach a certain * size (like RollingFileAppender), set rollingStyle=1 (@see config.size)
* To use CompositeRollingAppender to roll log files at certain time intervals * (daily for example), set rollingStyle=2 and a datePattern (@see config.time)
* To have CompositeRollingAppender roll log files at a certain size AND rename those * according to time intervals, set rollingStyle=3 (@see config.composite)
* *

A of few additional optional features have been added:
* -- Attach date pattern for current log file (@see staticLogFileName)
* -- Backup number increments for newer files (@see countDirection)
* -- Infinite number of backups by file size (@see maxSizeRollBackups)
*
*

A few notes and warnings: For large or infinite number of backups * countDirection > 0 is highly recommended, with staticLogFileName = false if * time based rolling is also used -- this will reduce the number of file renamings * to few or none. Changing staticLogFileName or countDirection without clearing * the directory could have nasty side effects. If Date/Time based rolling * is enabled, CompositeRollingAppender will attempt to roll existing files * in the directory without a date/time tag based on the last modified date * of the base log files last modification.
*
*

A maximum number of backups based on date/time boundries would be nice * but is not yet implemented.
