RE: Relative path for FileAppender File

[Thomas Muller <tt...@online.no>]

| I have an environment variable called CATALINA_HOME that contains
| D:/Tomcat4.1

You need to set the variable in the System properties. Environment or shell
variables are _not_ automatically or magicly transferred to the java
properties.

Either start the VM with the -D option
(e.g. -DCATALINA_HOME=%CATALINA_HOME%, or set it programmatically with
System.setProperty( "CATALINA_HOME", <path>" );

| I have tried:
| log4j.appender.R.File=${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/democorp/WEB-INF/lo
| gs/surveyor.log

This is the correct syntax, given that CATALINA_HOME is defined in the
System properties.

Hope this helps.
