[jira] [Updated] (LOG4J2-872) Property substitution works incorrectly for filePattern in RollingFile appender

["Artur Burnos (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-872?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Artur Burnos updated LOG4J2-872:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
I am trying to configure RollingFile appender in tomcat 7.0.23 with log4j2(2.0.2) with 10 log files.

I am using in the filePattern the ${sys:catalina.base}, it doesn't work and log files are placed in tomcat/bin/${sys:catalina.base}/ directory.

The interesting part is that the first log file (without a number) is created ok, under tomcat/logs - which means it succeeds to map the filename attribute to a real path.

When I replace ${sys:catalina.base} with filePattern="C:/apache-tomcat-7.0.23/logs/app.%i.log" it works.

Meaning that the filePattern is not interpreted properly.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        <RollingFile name="FILE" fileName="${sys:catalina.base}/logs/app.log"
                     filePattern="${sys:catalina.base}/logs/app.%i.log">

            </Policies>
            <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="10"/>
        </RollingFile>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root level="info">
            <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
            <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

Meaning that the filePattern is not interpreted properly.

How do I overcome this without having to specify the log directory statically?
