Christopher Thielen commented on LOG4J2-378:
--------------------------------------------

I'm still seeing this behavior with one Maven+Spring project through Eclipse (but not the other) both using log4j2 version 2.0.2.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta8, 2.0-beta9
>         Environment: Issues occurs on Win7/64 system under Tomcat 7.0.42 / Oracle JDK 1.7.0_25; fails to occur on RHEL 5.2 system under Tomcat 7.0.26 / Oracle JDK 1.7.0_03

> In a webapp I'm setting a system property in my apps ServletContextListener, and using that system property in my log4j2.xml file, like so:
> {code}
> <appender type="FastFile" name="File" fileName="${sys:catalina.home}/logs/${sys:application-name}.log">
> {code}
> On my Windows machine, a log file named "${sys." (always 0 bytes) is being created instead of a log file with the application-name. The same war deployed on one of our linux servers does not create a ${sys." file and instead creates a log file with the intended application-name. 
> I should note that the files DO appear in the directory that sys:catalina.home should resolve to. They appear elsewhere when I don't use sys:catalina.home so I'm quite sure that this variable is resolving correctly and it is the sys:application-name which is the problem.
