Location of log files
Just spent the morning implementing log4j, a lovely thing. Why didn't I
start using it 6 months ago?
Just one question:
Is there any way I can set in code a root directory for log files, so that
the log4j.properties becomes more portable?
i.e.: instead of
log4j.appender.statsLog.File=/home/appserver/tomcat/logs/stats.log
i should be able to use
log4j.appender.statsLog.File=stats.log
then use code when I use the PropertyConfigurator to set the root directory?
Thanks,
Alistair.

In log4j version 1.0, it will be possible to say:
mydir=/home/appserver/tomcat/logs
log4j.appender.statsLog.File=${mydir}/stats.log
log4j.appender.xyzLog.File=${mydir}/xyz.log
Moreover, you will be able to set the mydir variable either in the config
file or as a system property. Regards, Ceki
