dumb newbie question?

[Rishikesh Tembe <ri...@eml.cc>]

Hi group,

Is there a way I can specify an absolute path for the File for the
DailyRollingFileAppender in my log4j.properties?
I want my log files to be located in the
CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/log directory. How can I specify this
destination without tying it down to the actual location of Tomcat?

I have tried various options but none seem to work.

thanks,
Rishi

There is no such thing as a dumb question. See also below.

You can use variable substitution.

Assuming catalina.home is a system property, then you can specify the path as

   ${catalina.home}/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/log

Just to make sure to use the right variable name.
