Hi all
I had to find a way to provide a user dependent configuration file for
my java webstart application. the stright forward way to do so, is to
handle property substitution in the LogManager initalisation.
webstart users can provide something like this:
<property name="log4j.configuration"
value="file://${user.home}/log4j.properties" />
the substitiution code was already there, so the patch is quite small.
one new method in OptionConverter and 3 renamings in LogManager.
In what format do you expect the patch? I have included a diff against
CVS HEAD below.
Regards
Michael Locher
