Not sure I have understood your problem exactly, but you could use environment substitution in your properties/xml file.
log4j.appender.XXX.filePath=T:\\LOG\${client_machine}.log
${client.machine} would need to have been set in the system properties before hand.

Does anyone knows how I can specify dynamically the name of the file ? I sort of would like the following - Let Log4j use a property in my config file, likely "log4j.appender.XXX.filePath=T:\\LOG" - specify dynamically in my java classes wich filename to use. The reason is that I am currently developping an application logging messages in files situated in a shared folder, and I need to give a unique name for each file (currently I chose to get the client machine name, which is unique)
I can (it already works) subclass RollingFileAppender (or others) and change the setFile methods, but I would prefer a lot not to override Log4j behaviors to avoid future diffulties in evoluating with Log4j.
But in the existing parameters I couldn't find anything but the "log4j.appender.XXX.File=T:\\LOG\\LOGFILE.LOG"...
Please help me ! Thanks
