I don't think that RotatingFileHandler *should* be configurable to do a 
doRollover() on startup. I would follow up the suggestion of using your 
own derived class. The config mechanism will allow you to instantiate 
custom handlers - you only have to take into account (as an earlier 
poster has indicated) how the evaluation of the handler class (and its 
constructor arguments) is performed.

BTW - constructor is not just for Java, but C++ too (not to mention C#).
