RE: FileAppender
Disregard.
This has previously been reported as bug 9150 (I shoulda checked the bug
database first).
Hopefully Ceki can get this fix in soon 8^)

Subject: FileAppender
Greetings,
When setting up a file appender, the docs say that if the file doesn't
exist, it is created. This is true, with the following caveat: if one or
more of the directories do not exist, the file is not created. This causes
problems if I want to setup a new server to log to a log directory that
hasn't been created yet. It adds administrative complexity to require the
deployer to know that the directory needs to be created. The code should be
smart enough to do this.
Does anyone know if more recent releases of log4j have fixed this?
If not, can this enhancment be made (or should I make it myself)? All you
really need to do is a File.createDirs() in FileAppender.setFile(...).

The code to fix this not too difficult. However, I don't think log4j has a
mandate to silently create directories on the user's system. There is no
intention to fix this, unless of course you get other users/developers to
argue otherwise.
