Is there a reason why this is not supported as it is in the PropertyConfigurator? I browsed through the source and determined that it would be pretty easy to add, but I was wondering if it was purposefully left out.
If my terminology is incorrect or if I am being unclear, I want to do this:
<appender name="A1" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<!-- notice this line -->
<param name="File" value="${user.home}\\A1.log" />
<param name="Append" value="false" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%t %-5p %c{2} - %m\n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
If I were to patch the existing code to support this, would I be wreaking havoc somewhere or parting from someone else's philosophy?
Thanks for any help.
