Tomcat log4j and system.out

I try to use log4j to create a new log when the log size reaches the limitation I set.  However, I don't know why the date is just not shown on the log file name...Also, how can I just record system.out message in my log??

Any suggestion how I should change my properties file?
# A default log4j configuration for log4j users.
#
# To use this configuration, deploy it into your application's WEB-INF/classes
# directory.  You are also encouraged to edit it as you like.

# Configure the console as our one appender
log4j.rootLogger=debug, R 
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender 
log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.home}/logs/my_logging
log4j.appender.R.DatePattern='_'yyyy-MM-dd'.log'
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=50MB 
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=10 
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d   %-5p   %c{2}   -   %m%n 
log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina=DEBUG, R

I tried "log4j.appender.R.DatePattern="'_'yyyy-MM-dd""...but it didn't work...
should I put both lines in the same file?

log4j.appender.R.DatePattern="'_'yyyy-MM-dd instead of this try putting any one of those two lines in the same file.

can you replace the property "log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender" with this "log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender" and test it.

I guess the rolling will happen daily basis , it will create one log file for each day.
