Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-747:
------------------------------------

I'm very glad to hear that!

Before we close this issue, can you help us improve log4j by pointing out any 
places where the documentation can be improved? Anything that would have helped 
you resolve this issue sooner will be useful I think. 

If there are multiple pages please mention the page and section you want to 
improve. Text we can copy & paste into the documentation would be ideal. 

Much appreciated!

> Based on my previous post / question on the log4j2 user list - Defining 
> different log4j2.xml configurations based on environment - 
> http://apache-logging.6191.n7.nabble.com/Defining-different-log4j2-xml-configurations-based-on-environment-tp40639p40662.html
>  - I was attempting to create a  Servlet Example of using different 
> log4j2-\{env:envValue\}.xml.  
> Based on the answers in this thread "Defining different log4j2.xml 
> configurations based on environment", from log4j user list I tried to test 
> using a different config for different environments. This is what I have done.
> * I defined a Windows env variable {{websphere_environment}} and set its 
> value to "local"
> * I specify the config location as log4j2-\{env:envValue\}.xml. My web.xml 
> context-param looks like below - servlet version is 3.0.
> {code}
> <context-param>
>     <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
>     <param-value>/WEB-INF/config/log4j2-${env:websphere_environment}.xml
>     </param-value>
> </context-param>
> {code}
> My relevant servlet method looks like below
> {code}
> protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse 
> response) throws
>     ServletException, IOException {
>     Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ServletLog4j2Test.class.getName());
>     logger.fatal("Loaded:);
>     //    " + /WEB-INF/config/log4j2-${env:websphere_environment}.xml
> }
> {code}
> I do not have the lo4j2-local.xml defined in the WEB-INF/config ( it is 
> defined as log4j-local.xml, not log4j2-local.xml and was expecting to get an 
> error but it seems that the servlet is using a default configuration, because 
> when I run the servlet, I get
> {code}
> "07/24/14 07:14:07:564:FATAL:WebContainer : 0:        :     
> :com.test.log4j2.ServletLog4j2Test: Loaded:"
> {code}
> How should my web-app and config files be set-up so that I can use different 
> configs for different environments based on the environment?
