Fwd: default value for empty ${web:contextPath}
Hi,
As I didn't receive any answer, I hope I can send my questions here.
Have a nice day.

Subject: default value for empty ${web:contextPath}
To: log4j-user@logging.apache.org
Hello,
In the hope that someone else might have a better solution, I'm trying here.
As you can see in
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35729590/log4j2-lookup-default-value-with-empty-contextpath,
I'm trying to set the filename of an appender using the context path
of the web application.
It works except the case when the app is deployed as the root of the
virtual host, case when the contextPath is an empty string (not null).
The default (specified in the Properties section) is only used when
the lookup returns null.
Is there anything else I can do besides writing a plugin just for this?
Regards

Yes, please create a Jira issue for this. I have my doubts that anyone really wants to use the value if it is a zero length string.

Hi,
Yes, I did see that it's only checking for null.
My question is how to proceed to obtain the behavior I need :-)
Should I create a ticket with an enhancement request of some sort?
Maybe others need this too.
Regards

The Interpolator is only checking for null. Likewise, I believe StrSubstitutor will only use the default value if the lookup returns null, not an empty string.
