Kim Haase commented on DERBY-5051:
----------------------------------
Oh, I see. the setting(s) of the property or properties shows up in the
redirected log? I guess I didn't quite grasp that. Wouldn't you have to know
where the log info was going already in order to even find the log with these
settings in it? I suppose it might be helpful if you needed to send the log
contents somewhere for diagnostic purposes.
Anyway, I'll reopen this issue and put a mention in each of the Reference
Manual entries as well as in the error log topic in the developer's guide.

> With DERBY-4853, we log additional information in derby.log to make it easier
> for the support group to work with customer problems.
> Following 2 additional properties will now always be put in derby.log (every
> time a database is booted)
> user.dir
> derby.system.home
> user.dir is the system property which gives the user working directory.
> If the user has not specified derby,system.home, then Derby will look for
> optional derby.properties file in user.dir . If user has provided
> derby.system.home, then the optional derby.properties will be looked in
> derby.system.home rather than user.dir
> If user has not provided derby.system.home, then a sample of the 2 properties
> on derby.log looks as follows on my machine
> user.dir=C:\p4clients\svnmain\client2\trunk\systest\out142
> derby.system.home=null
> If user has set derby.system.home to c:./temp, then a sample of the 2
> properties on derby.log looks as follows on my machine
> user.dir=C:\p4clients\svnmain\client2\trunk\systest\out142
> derby.system.home=c:/temp
> In addition to the above 2 properties, there can be following 3 optional
> properties in the log (following the 2 properties mentioned above)
> derby.stream.error.file
> derby.stream.error.method
> derby.stream.error.field
> The above 3 properties provide a way to alter where error messages get logged
> rather than tranditional derby.log file. In the absence of the above 3
> optional properties, the location of derby.log follows the same logic as
> derby.properties. But if the user has set any or all of the 3 optional
> properties, then derby.log will not be in same location as derby.properties.
> In the Derby code, derby.stream.error.file takes precedence over the other 2
> properties and derby.stream.error.method take precedence over the last
> property.
