Hi Henrik,

We have this line at the top of our log4j.properties file:

webappRoot=/var/tomcat4/webapps/

then in our appender config:

log4j.appender.taipanAppender.file=${webappRoot}Taipan/logs/taipan-log4j.log

This allows a little more flexibility in defining a base directory etc. 
For windows, you will probably need something like:

webappRoot=c:\\toolkit\\tomcat4.0\\webapps\\

Mainly because of \ need to be escaped.

Hope this helps you.

regards,

Paul Smith
