FileAppender and file Location & getOptions

[Anshul Chhabra <ac...@tollbridgetech.com>]

Hi 
	I know that the getOptions is deprecated in 1.3.1. That basically
means that Log4j itself does not use it internally, and recommends that
users not use it either.
	
	Coming to getOptions on FileAppender - shouldn't the code be cleaned
up so that it uses setters instead of directly setting the internal
variables? In the case of FileAppender it is not so (and perhaps it is a
more general problem as well).

	Is there currently no way of separately specifying a directory name
in which you want the logs to go? Has anybody extended the FileAppender to
support this capability on a per appender basis?


Thanks
Anshul

There is no way to set a log directory.
You want to set the actual file name.
use  fileAppender.setFile( "/foo/bar/mylog.txt")    .

Look up its usage in the javadoc for FileAppender.


Read up on the terminolgy for deprecated.  It meanswill be
discontinued/unsupported in future sometime  (not recommened for use).  The
code is still existant.

You mean log4j v1.1.3 i assume.
