Re: Setting properties for log4j.xml configuration file

Meanwhile I found the solution (for all, who'll might have the same question 
in future:) by defining an XML entity declaring the logfiles directory (or 
any other parameter, required, to be referenced in the log4j.xml) - Sample:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd" [<!ENTITY log4j:logDir 
"C:/MyProject/MyLogs">]>

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>
   <appender name="fileout" 
class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
     <param name="file" value="&log4j:logDir;/mytests.log"/>
