Eric Schwarzenbach updated LOG4J2-378:
--------------------------------------
Description:
In a webapp I'm setting a system property in my apps ServletContextListener,
and using that system property in my log4j2.xml file, like so:
{code}
<appender type="FastFile" name="File"
fileName="${sys:catalina.home}/logs/${sys:application-name}.log">
{code}
On my Windows machine, a log file named "${sys." (always 0 bytes) is being
created instead of a log file with the application-name. The same war deployed
on one of our linux servers does not create a ${sys." file and instead creates
a log file with the intended application-name.
I should note that the files DO appear in the directory that sys:catalina.home
should resolve to. They appear elsewhere when I don't use sys:catalina.home so
I'm quite sure that this variable is resolving correctly and it is the
sys:application-name which is the problem.
