Example of variable substitution in an XML formatted config file

[Lu...@circuitcity.com]

I am using the DOMConfigurator, and would like to make use of the variable
substitution available to Log4J.

Does anyone have an XML example of this?

The book only has a log4j.properties file example, and I do not know the
       XML syntax.  I get SAXParser errors...

RE: Example of variable substitution in an XML formatted config file

[Thomas Muller <tt...@online.no>]

DOMConfigurator supports rudimentary variable interpolation. Variables found
in the System properties can be used in the XML config file like this:

<appender name="FOO" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
	<param name="file" value="${log.home}/foo.log" />
	<param name="append" value="true" />
	<param name="datePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd" />
	<param name="threshold" value="DEBUG" />
	<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
		<param name="ConversionPattern" value="${log4j.appender.FOO.pattern}" />
	</layout>
</appender>

Hope this helps.
