RE: Specifying location of log file

[Sridharan Vembu <Sr...@infosys.com>]

Hi,

How can I define the value for "myapp.home"in my configuration file itself. I tried defining it as a param under root tag. But , it doesnt reflect in the ${myapp.home}.Or can I have ways to define it programmatically.

Help on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
Sridharan

Example

	<appender name="MY_APPENDER" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
		<param name="file" value="${myapp.home}/log/my-appender.log" />
		<param name="append" value="true" />
		<param name="threshold" value="DEBUG" />
		<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
  			<param name="ConversionPattern"
  				value="%d{ISO8601} [%-5p] - &quot;%m&quot;%n" />
		</layout>
	</appender>

myapp.home must be set in the system properties before log4j is configured,
e.g. with the -D option.

Hope this helps.

| "java.class.path" where the value for both is put to the
| directory where I want my log to be written. This is also the

| some of you know the answer, so please spare a few minutes and
| help me out!
