The latest CVS version of phoenix has support for proerty expansion in log4j 
xml configuration files. A while back there was some complaints that the logs 
were always created relative to the working directory rather than the 
application base directory.

This is still the case (as it is with excalibur-logger) but now you can use 
propertys ${app.dir} and ${app.name} in your log4j config files and they 
should resolve to correct values. A sample configuration for log4j that uses 
this method;

<logs version="log4j">

    <appender name="DEFAULT" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
        <param name="File" value="${app.home}/logs/default.log"/>
        <param name="Append" value="false"/>
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern"
                value="%p [%c] - %m%n"/>
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <appender name="MYBLOCK_FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
        <param name="File" value="${app.home}/logs/myBlock.log"/>
        <param name="Append" value="false"/>
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern"
                value="%p [%c] - %m%n"/>
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <root>
        <priority value="debug"/>
        <appender-ref ref="DEFAULT"/>
    </root>

    <logger name="root.myBlock">
        <priority value="debug"/>
        <appender-ref ref="MYBLOCK_FILE"/>
    </logger>
</logs>

        Key: PNIX-3
    Summary: Log4j log file defined in enviornment.xml is created in working directory
       Type: Bug

   Priority: Minor

Environment: Phoneix 4.1, linux X86, JDK 1.4.1, Ant 1.5.1

Description:

When configuring log4j loging for a phoenix application, defining the location of the log file "foo.txt" below, results in this log file being created in   working directory from which phonix was launched from rather than inside the deployed directory hierarchy of the SAR application it self.

This log file if defined by the SAR application, should reside inside the SAR/foo.txt  instead of say PHOENIX_HOME/bin/foo.txt if that happens to be where run.sh is launched from.

please consult mail thread:http://www.mail-archive.com/users%40avalon.apache.org/msg00407.html

example of enviornment.xml configuration used for this.

      <logs version="log4j">
        <appender name="FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
           <param name="File" value="foo.txt"/>
           <param name="Append" value="false"/>
           <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
              <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%p - korosh - %m%n"/>
           </layout>
        </appender>
        <root>
           <priority value="debug"/>
           <appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
        </root>
      </logs>
