Use of PropertyConfigurator
I need to initialize my log4j system by PropertyConfigurator. I need a RollingFileAppender, but I know the file name only at runtime (actually it's read from a ServletContext - InitParameter value).
So I call PropertyConfigurator.configure.... and after I set the file manually with
((RollingFileAppender)Category.getRoot().getAppender("<theAppenderName>")).setFile("<theFileName>",true);
Everything goes ok, but I get the annoying WARN message out to the console
log4j:WARN File option not set for appender [<theAppenderName>].
log4j:WARN Are you using FileAppender instead of ConsoleAppender?
Everytime the servlet initializes the log4j system.
Is there any chance to avoid this annoying message?
Or even better.
Is there another way to initialize the RollingFileAppender directly into the properties file, by accessing the InitParameter of my servlet context (IMO it's impossible...)
Thank you!

You misunderstood.
If you change the filename dynamically at runtime, then activate it by calling
appender.activateOptions();
if you use a config file, then you do NOT need to call
appender.activateOptions() (until later if u change the filename at runtime).
In the config file... you be specifying the file option.
With the properties file:
log4j.appender.MYAPPENDER.File = c:\\log.txt
Research the XML format for yourself.

Where must I call it? Is this ironic? :)
If I call it in my code I get those annoying messages two times!! :)))
There should be a way to avoid the PropertyConfigurator to call
activateOptions() for a particular Appender, so that it can be called inside
the code. That should work. But is there an option for the property file
that tells to the Configurator to NOT call activateOptions for an Appender?

Call :
appender.activateOptions();
