Log4j PropertyConfigurator supports rudimentary interpolation, meaning you
can use a previsously defined value as this:
key=myValue
..
log4j.foo=bar/${key}
I'm not completely sure, but I guess you can use keys from system properties
as well. Then it's easy to use environment variables: just insert the one(s)
you need with -D when you start the VM.
DOMConfigurator definately supports interpolation of system properties.
Hope this helps

| Subject: Setting the output directory for log files
|
|
| Hello All,
|
| I'm wanting to know if there is some way I can set the output
| directory for
| log files without specifying the full path and filename for the property:
| log4j.appender.fileout.File (property contained in my log4j configuration
| file).
|
| Ideally I would like to be able to retrieve the temp directory from the
| system and set this as the working directory. For the above property I
| would just set the name of the file (e.g.
| log4j.appender.fileout.File=example.log).
|
| Can this be done?
|
| Best Regards
| SS
