| 1. My first issue is, how does it gets this path, based on what | system parameter | it takes up this value /j2ee/home/ and prepend it to log file ?
The /j2ee/home is probably the VMs current working directory, this is why you find your files under this directory (unless you have specified a path). I'm sure this directory is extractable from a property. Do a printout of all System properties after application server startup. Also consult proper documentation. If you configure logging in a HttpServlet subclass you can do something like this: public void init( ServletConfig config ) throws ServletException { super.init( config ); String baseDir = getServletContext().getRealPath( "/" ); .... } | 2. If i know the system property i need to set, i can set that to log file | location or i can append to the result of qstn 1. The idea is, if there | is a system prop that FileAppender picks it up, i can override that by a | new value as soon as the property is loaded Not sure what you mean here. -- Thomas ************************************************************************* Copyright ERA Technology Ltd. 2002.
