Eric Schwarzenbach commented on LOG4J2-378:
-------------------------------------------
Thanks, Ralph. I've now tried this out with beta9, and now it creates a 0 byte
file named "${web" (on Win7/64 / 7.0.42 / Oracle JDK 1.7.0_40-b43). It does
also create (and log to) a file named from the display-name in my web.xml, like
"My Web Application.log". I was looking for the actual name it was deployed
to...for example if it deployed to TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myapp and I was
accessing it at someserver.com/myapp, I'd like to see "myapp.log". Is there
another web: variable that might do that?

> 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.
