Hello Naresh,

The one difference between your setup and mine is that I don't use
commons-logging.  Please try this with Log4j directly.  In addition,
you might want to read this:

NB> If you read the docs on java.io.File, it can take the following formats:

NB> C:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory\file.txt
NB> C:\\mydirectory\\mysubdirectory\\file.txt
NB> C:/mydirectory/mysubdirectory/file.txt

NB> and the URL class taks the following formats:

NB> file:///C:/mydirectory/mysubdirectory/file.txt
NB> file:///C:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory\file.txt

NB> you can even mix things up like this...

NB> file:///C:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory/file.txt


NB> The way I set up my file paths is:

NB> <param name="File" value="${mycontext.log.home}/mylogfile.log"/>

NB> I set a system property at runtime for said variable.  The path that I
NB> set 
NB> up looks like this on Windows:

NB> C:\mydirectory\mysubdirectory


NB> So, I'm not sure why Log4j would be choking on a path like this since it

NB> works fine for me.   Anyone else have an ideas?
