RE: [OT] log4j file path issue
I use ${catalina.home} and now I can get rid of my extra
log4j.unix.properties. Thx, Tim.

I think this works.
A quick look at the Log4j list (like Craig suggested) turned up these
threads:
These seem to hit the suggestions already offered:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg08056.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06026.html
This one seems to be the most interesting:

It appears that you can use ${some-system-property} in your config
files. We do something similar to you, so I just tried this on our
setup and it worked:
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A1.DatePattern='-'-MM-dd
log4j.appender.A1.File=${catalina.base}/logs/my.log
I took advantage of the -Dcatalina.base property already defined in
the catalina.sh file used to start Tomcat. If you'd like to use a
custom System property this URL
http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html#defaultInit
describes how to set log4j properties using the CATALINA_OPTS
environment variable, though I'm sure there are sources that give more
direct instructions for setting System properties for Tomcat.
Hope that helps,
Tim
P.S. I suppose this should get posted to Log4j's list too; but I'm also
too lazy to go through the signup process and setup mail filters. :-)

I am working with a jsp developer who uses windows, where I use
linux. When he checks out a copy of the application in the revision
system, the log4j.properties file is not playing fair. I have in it
log4j.appender.default.File=/var/tomcat4/logs/struts.log
But his path to tomcat is not the same. If I try to do
log4j.appender.default.File=struts.log
then in linux it tries to make the file in / and doesn't understand
relative paths. (Note: I am initializing log4j.properties in a init
servlet like suggested in the manual).
How do I specify that I want the log file in the logs directory of
the tomcat installation. Even if I have to set something in the
init servlet, I will do that, but HOW HOW HOW??? argh...apart from
having 2 log4j.properties files.

RE: [OT] log4j file path issue
I want to know too. Currently I use 2 properties files, one for win32, one for linux. When I build my app, I let ant detect which to use. -Original Message- From: Dan Allen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: April 2, 2003 5:05 PM To: Struts-User List Subject: [OT] log4j file path issue I am working with a jsp developer who uses windows, where I use linux.

They were better in conversation, easier to milk, and if they annoyed me enough, I could shoot them and eat them. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [OT] log4j file path issue
Sounds like a good question for the Log4J user list :-). True true, but sometimes I through in an [OT] just not to have to join yet another mailinglist to post a question. I am already on like 12 mailinglists and sometimes it is a bit of a barrier to asking a question to have to join and setup the mail filters. I guess such is life because of spammers. Security sux sometimes.
