Yair,
Are you calling PropertiesConfigurator, DOMConfigrator, JoranConfigrator
yourself? If you are, you can fill in the value of the variable before
invoking the configurator.
To give you an idea, assume you use PropertiesConfigurator.
Properties props = new Properties();
FileInputStream istream = new
FileInputStream("/your/config/file.properties");
props.load(istream);
istream.close()
// set the value of "now" to a string formatted according to your
// liking
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd-HH-ss");
props.setProperty("now", sdf.format(new Date());
// now configure log4j
new PropertiesConfigurator().doConfigure(props,
LogManager.getLogggingRepository());
Your config file in properties format would look like
log4j.rootLogger=debug, KUKU
log4j.appender.KUKU=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.KUKU.File=/wombat/kuku-${now}.log
etc...
I'd like to note that the choice of using "kuku" as a file name was yours,
certainly not mine. :-)
HTH,
