Goal

As per the GlassFish Server 2.1.1 documentation, if the value of "log-rotation-timelimit-in-minutes" is greater than zero, then "log-rotation-timelimit-in-minutes" takes precedence over "log-rotation-limit-in-bytes".

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19879-01/821-0183/abhdl/index.html
******************************************************************************
log-rotation-limit-in-bytes

(optional) Log files are rotated when the file size reaches the specified limit.

log-rotation-timelimit-in-minutes

(optional) Enables time-based log rotation. The valid range is 60 minutes (1 hour) to 14400 minutes (10*24*60 minutes or 10 days).

If the value is zero, the files are rotated based on the size specified in log-rotation-limit-in-bytes. If the value is greater than zero, log-rotation-timelimit-in-minutes takes precedence over log-rotation-limit-in-bytes .
