<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";
color:black'>What I can see there is no way to roll the file on a specific
time. E.g. every day at 17:00<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";
color:black'>As we require this I had a closer look on how logback decides to
roll. I found the ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.helper.RollingCalendar is
responsible to define when the next roll should happen. I extended it so that
one can define the time rather then 0:00 if you roll daily.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";
color:black'>Now my problem is that there is no way to set my extended RollingCalander
on the TimeBasedFileNameAndTriggeringPolicyBase as it is created inside the
start method. Overriding the start of TimeBasedFileNameAndTriggeringPolicyBase
and do the same without calling the super method works only if me override is
in the same package which is not a nice thing. The problem would be easy solved
if you would add a setter for the RollingCalander to the
TimeBasedFileNameAndTriggeringPolicyBase and then change the line <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Clearly I could just go ahead and change that by myself but
I thought maybe someone else want’s this as well and it would be nice not
