java ... -Dlog.dir=/my/preferred/path WAS

In log4j.properties....

log4j.appender.MyAppender.File=${log.dir}/mylogfile.log


Now you can use the same log file for all environments. Just make sure you set the system property at startup.

Hi, all. Is there a way to set a DailyRollingFileAppender outside of a log4j.properties in a struts application? My company’s website is running in a mainfame environment with multiple WAS instances for each region ie., development, test, and production. This type of architecture requires my log file to be environment specific i.e. /temp/dev/log or /temp/prod/log. I could have a log4j.properties for each environment, but don’t really feel good about that approach.

I’ve created a StartUp plugin that will create a log file using a variable defined as a WAS Resource Environment Entry. The plugin reads the variable and thus creates and names the log file appropriately. I have yet to figure out how to instantiate a DailyRollingFileAppender that will roll this file and create a new log at the beginning of each day.

Thanks,

Paula
