--------------------------------------

             Summary: Resolution of ${hostName} in log4j2.xml file only works 
after first reference
                 Key: LOG4J2-470
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-470
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Configurators
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
         Environment: Windows 7, JDK 1.7, Eclipse 4.2
            Reporter: Russell J. Nile
            Priority: Minor


I am using ${hostName} to include the hostname in the log file.  When I use it 
it resolves to "${hostName}" the first time it is referred to in the log and 
then the proper hostname after that.

Example configuration (comment out the "Properties" section to duplicate):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration monitorInterval="60"     name="SMSLog4JConfiguration"> <!-- add 
this to spit out debug about configuration: 'status="debug"'  -->

        <!-- This seems to be a bug, but the $hostName seems to need to be 
referenced
             once before it can be used.  Maybe it gets correct in a future 
log4j2 release --> 
        <Properties>
                <Property name="theHostName">${hostName}</Property>
        </Properties>


        <Appenders>
                <RollingFile name="RollingFileAppender" 
fileName="/applicationlogs/CTMSApplicationService-${hostName}.log"
                        
filePattern="/applicationlogs/${hostName}-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log">
                        <Policies>
                                <OnStartupTriggeringPolicy />
                                <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="24" 
modulate="true" />
                        </Policies>
                        <PatternLayout pattern="[%d{ISO8601}] [%t] %-5level 
%logger{6} - %msg%n" />
                </RollingFile>
        </Appenders>
        <Loggers>
                <!-- default for "includeLocation" is false, but I want to be 
clear -->
                <Root level="debug" includeLocation="false">
                        <AppenderRef ref="RollingFileAppender" />
                </Root>
        </Loggers>
</Configuration>
