Hi.
I need to dynamically define the name of my RollingFileAppender (We have
amny environments and I don't want to have to keep on changing the config
file). Since I also don't want the headache of maintaining system
properties I decided on doing it via the code as follows:
System.setProperty("logFile.name", getServletContext().getRealPath
("/WEB-INF/logs") + "\\test.log");
The config file looks like this:
<appender name="A2" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<param name="File" value="${logFile.name}"/>
....
This works because all our environments conform to the Servlets 2.1
directory specs.
What's wierd is that even though I define the "Append" attribute to "true",
log4j still truncates the file each time the servlet engine is bounced. If
I hard-code the file name in the config file it works fine (even if I
hard-code the absolute path).
Can anyone explain this?
Thank you.
