Hi Steve, Thank you for your fast reply!
>If you are using from a WEB Context it will be a relative path from the >WEB-INF/ directory of your web context I have a Web-Application with the following path: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\webapps\PDMWebConnector\WEB-INF\classes My log4j.config runs in: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\webapps\PDMWebConnector\config\ So, if I want to log in: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\logs\ I had to define the relative path like this: ..\\..\\..\\logs\\appender.xml ???? Can you please tell me if I am right? Or does it depends on the directory where log4j.config.xml was placed?

If it is a stand alone application it will be a relative path from the directory in which you started the application. If you are using from a WEB Context it will be a relative path from the WEB- INF/ directory of your web context Regards Steve Quoting "Dorner, Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi all, > > > > I am sorry for asking this non axis question, but I cant find a solution > whenn googling. > > > > I use log4j in my project and so I have the log4j.config.xml and therefore > the appenders. > > The appender do have a attribute name="File" and a value="C:\\..\\..\\" with > the absolute path, > > Which define where log4j writes the log-file. > > > > My question is, is it possible to define/describe a relativ path where log4j > write the log-file???? > > > > > > <appender name="webservices" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"> > > <param name="File" > value="C:\\projects\\sources\\PDMWebConnector\\logs\\webservices.log"/> > > <param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB"/> > > > > > > Thanks in advance > > Thomas > > > > > > > > > >
