Class RevolvingFileStrategy

public class RevolvingFileStrategy extends Object implements FileStrategy

strategy for naming log files based on appending revolving suffix. If the initial rotation is not specified then the class will attempt to calculate the rotation number via the following algorithm. It will search for the file with the highest number in the rotation. It will then increment its rotation number and use that number. If all files in rotation are present then it will then set the initial rotation to the next rotation after the most recently created file.
