Hi Wagle,
Thanks for your reply.
Can you please explain me your example in detail?
Where should I set the system property - do you mean I should set
a environment-variable "CATALINA_HOME"?
<appender name="client" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="${CATALINA_HOME}/logs/client.log"/>
log4j.appender.A2.File=${catalina.home}/logs/SystemSigner.log???
Some help?
Thanks Thomas

The log4j properties file can handle system properties. So you can use
something like below to specify a path name.
log4j.appender.A2.File=${catalina.home}/logs/SystemSigner.log

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your fast reply!

I have a Web-Application with the following path:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\webapps\PDMWebConnector\WEB-INF\classes
My log4j.config runs in:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\webapps\PDMWebConnector\config\
So, if I want to log in:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\logs\
I had to define the relative path like this:
..\\..\\..\\logs\\appender.xml ????
Can you please tell me if I am right?
Or does it depends on the directory where log4j.config.xml was placed?
Thanks
Thomas

The short answer is yes.
Don't put the absolute path name just a relative path name.
This has a affect depending on the context.
If it is a stand alone application it will be a relative path from the
directory in which you started the application.
If you are using from a WEB Context it will be a relative path from the WEB-
INF/ directory of your web context

Steve
