Yes it is indeed working. I am not sure why it didn't work when I was testing. Thanks for replying back.Anyway, I have another problem wherenin I need to put the logdir value in an xml file and source it into log4j.xml rather than get it from -D option.Eg:- I have two files log4j.xml and test.xml file Sample Contents of test.xml file are shown below.test.xml ----------Sample Contents of test.xml file are shown below.log4j.xml-------- where XXXX should hold the value of logdir tag. Is there anyway we can source one xml file into another file.Pls let me know. Thanks again.--- Ceki Gülcü wrote:> > "java -Dlogdir=C:/java TestLogger" should work with> DOMConfigurator.
