Hi I know that the getOptions is deprecated in 1.3.1. That basically means that Log4j itself does not use it internally, and recommends that users not use it either. Coming to getOptions on FileAppender - shouldn't the code be cleaned up so that it uses setters instead of directly setting the internal variables? In the case of FileAppender it is not so (and perhaps it is a more general problem as well).
Is there currently no way of separately specifying a directory name in which you want the logs to go? Has anybody extended the FileAppender to support this capability on a per appender basis? Thanks Anshul
