log4j help pls

["Dorner, Thomas" <Th...@t-systems.com>]

Hi all,

 

I am sorry for asking this non axis question, but I cant find a solution
whenn googling.

 

I use log4j in my project and so I have the log4j.config.xml and therefore
the appenders.

The appender do have a attribute name="File" and a value="C:\\..\\..\\" with
the absolute path, 

Which define where log4j writes the log-file.

 

My question is, is it possible to define/describe a relativ path where log4j
write the log-file????

 

 

<appender name="webservices" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

<param name="File"
value="C:\\projects\\sources\\PDMWebConnector\\logs\\webservices.log"/>

      <param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB"/>

 

 

Thanks in advance 

Thomas

The short answer is yes.

Don't put the absolute path name just a relative path name.

This has a affect depending on the context.

If it is a stand alone application it will be a relative path from the 
directory in which you started the application.

If you are using from a WEB Context it will be a relative path from the WEB-
INF/ directory of your web context

Steve
