           Summary: Log file not created.
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 2000
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dennis@bevocal.com


When a FileAppender (or derived) is used and the directory to which the file is
targeted does not exist, the log file will not be created.  If the base
FileAppender class would attempt to create the desired directory, file logging
would be much friendlier.

I found that it only took a small change to FileAppender.setFile() method...
	 
from:

    Writer fw = createWriter(new FileOutputStream(fileName, append));

to:

    File f   = new File(filename);
    File p = (new File(f.getCanonicalPath())).getParentFile();
    if (!p.exists()) {
       p.mkdirs();
    }
    p = null;

    Writer fw = createWriter(new FileOutputStream(f, append));
