Hello,

How is it possible to control the directory to which the log files are
written to.

	thank you,

RE: setting a directory to the file in one of the file-appenders

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

Both PropertyConfigurator and DOMConfigurator support rudimentary variable
interpolation from the System properties.

java -Dmylog.dir=/usr/home/foo/log Foo.java

And in your config file:

<appender name="FOO_APPENDER" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
	<param name="File" value="${mylog.dir}/foo.log" />
	<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
  		<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} [%x] [%t] - %m%n" />
	</layout>
</appender>

Hope this helps,

--

Thomas
