Dumb question about logging in Windows

[Tom Witmer <tm...@evolving.com>]

Hi!

   I'm a very happy user of Log4j, but am having trouble porting my 
log4j.properties files from Unix to Windows. Briefly, I can set my 
rolling file appender's "File" attribute to "/home/app/logs/App.log" and 
it works wonderfully.

   When I try to bring the application over to Windows, I've been 
finding I need to specify files with double-backslashes, as in 
"...File=C:\\App\\logs\\App.log". Am I doing this right? Is there a 
better idiom for using log4j in Windows?

 - Tom

Actually, you should just be able to use forward slashes, like:

   ...File=C:/App/logs/App.log

Even on Windows, Java is unix-y in its treatment of slashes.
