I have an application using log4j and in the past I have just specified: log4j.appender.file.File=logfilename.log
This would create the file in the location where the java app was launched. This was in C:\program files\MyApp\logfilename.log But windows vista doesn't seem to allow my program to write anywhere in c:\program files. I assume that log file is not being written at all now because of these permissions. Correct? I guess my solution is to write the log file to a folder in the user's home directory. Is there a way to auto specify the user's home directory without hard coding it? thanks -ryan _________________________________________________________________ Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Café.
