Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-378: ------------------------------------ To get the webapp name you could do {code} <appender type="FastFile" name="File" fileName="${sys:catalina.home}/logs/${web:servletContextName}.log"> {code} > Logging generates file named ${sys on some systems > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-378 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-378 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta8 > Environment: Issues occurs on Win7/64 system under Tomcat 7.0.42 / > Oracle JDK 1.7.0_25; fails to occur on RHEL 5.2 system under Tomcat 7.0.26 / > Oracle JDK 1.7.0_03 > Reporter: Eric Schwarzenbach > > In a webapp I'm setting a system property in my apps ServletContextListener, > and using that system property in my log4j2.xml file, like so: > {code} > <appender type="FastFile" name="File" > fileName="${sys:catalina.home}/logs/${sys:application-name}.log"> > {code} > On my Windows machine, a log file named "${sys." (always 0 bytes) is being > created instead of a log file with the application-name. The same war > deployed on one of our linux servers does not create a ${sys." file and > instead creates a log file with the intended application-name. > I should note that the files DO appear in the directory that > sys:catalina.home should resolve to. They appear elsewhere when I don't use > sys:catalina.home so I'm quite sure that this variable is resolving correctly > and it is the sys:application-name which is the problem. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
