This should do what you want:
1. Switch to XML config.
2. Define your main appender and special appender
3. Use a system property for the name of the file in the special appender.
4. Make sure you have your loggers setup so logs from the special part
of your code go to the special appender.

Thanks for your response,
it's not exactly what I want actually :
I have a main log where every log is stored,
But in a part of my code I want to log in a separate file (and still in
the main log file),
the location in which I must store the logs of this block of code
is told dynamically in my application in a new Log4j file
(log4j.appender.file.File=....).
So in other words each time I execute this block of code I create a new
Log4J file because I must specify a new directory where to store the
logs.
(e.g. first time I execute the specific block of code store log in
directory 21456, second time in 14598, ...)
So at the start of this code I do :
PropertyConfigurator.configure(...);
To load dynamically a new Log4J file (where the new location in which I
store the logs is specified)
But when I execute this, the logs aren't stored anymore in the main log
file.
I tried :
ApplicationLogManager.info("test1");
PropertyConfigurator.configure(logConfigFileName);
ApplicationLogManager.info("test2");
The main log file displays "test1" but nothing anymore below it.
That is problem #1.
Then when this block of code is exectued, I want to load again the main
Log4j file, in the classpath but I don't know how to load this one
PropertyConfigurator.configure(??);
Maybe I'm doing this all wrong :-) ( :( )

Loggers inherit appenders unless they are told not to. If you add an
appender
to a logger and you want all logging for that logger to go only to the
appender
you just added to it, you'll have to set additivity="false" to this
logger.
log4j.additivity.com.mycompany.MyClass=false
OR
<logger name="com.mycompany.MyClass" additivity="false">
....
</logger>
