There's a couple ways. Both involve referencing variables set externally.
For instance...
${db.username}
${db.password)
You can make these variables available in one of two ways (only the first way
below if you are using XML config)....
1. Set it as a system property. e.g... java -Ddb.username=[username]
-Ddb.password=[password]
2. You can manually configure using the PropertyConfigurator and pass in
variables prior to calling configure() (can't recall the exact API to do this
at the moment, but you can look it up).
I have't worked with the JDBCAppender much. I wonder if you couldn't just
give it a JNDI name of the DataSource it is supposed to use? In that case,
the above would be unnecessary.

Hi list,
I'm using log4j-1.2.14 and want to play with JDBCAppender. My main concern
is the fact that in my log4j.properties file I need to provide the username
and password details for the database connection.
How can I use JDBCAppender without having to put this information in my
.properties file?
Additionally, how might I inject a database connection from within my
application? Say I'm developing a JEE app which contains its own connection
pooling mechanisms etc.
Any help/advice would be very much appreciated.
Annie
