This is the wrong approach. Ask yourself who implements log4cxx with
which behaviour into your application. Most likely it's you, else you
wouldn't be able to programmatically ask for the log file name/path.
So why do you implement it in a way that makes you need to ask for
such a log file name/path at all?

You don't want that, instead you want to provide the ability that you
or your user can simply configure those paths, so you don't need to
query anything. Read the following document, especially the
"Configuration" section. The format used is pretty much the same like
that of log4j, so you can use their documentation as well.
