Using log4j in Tomcat
I have the following log4j property file, and I am using log4j in my tomcat.
Can you please tell me how can I specify the location of the log
file so that it is in the inside the webapp directory of the tomcat
that I deploy? I don't know the location of the tomcat, so I can't put
absolute path.
log4j.appender.DLACCESS=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender

log4j.appender.DLACCESS.File=access.log

Re: Using log4j in Tomcat
Posted by Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>.
James is correct about the fact that Tomcat sets this system property. However,
you should be using ${catalina.base} instead of ${catalina.home}. You may very
well have a separate instance of Tomcat with a different base directory than
that of ${catalina.home}. In that case that you truly are running under a host
whose home is located within ${catalina.home}, ${catalina.base} will point to
the same location. So, always use ${catalina.base} unless you have a very good
reason not to.

I think log4j can resolve any system property in ${}.
I think Tomcat usually sets that property.

Re: Using log4j in Tomcat
Posted by ying lcs <yi...@gmail.com>.
How can log4j resolve '${catalina.home}' when it reads it from the
property files? And can you please tell me who will setup this
'${catalina.home}/'?
the startup script of tomcat?

Re: Using log4j in Tomcat

You can make it relative to the tomcat install by using
${catalina.home}/access.log
(I assume that works in properties files but I know it does in xml files).
