I might be wrong, but I'll bet Babu wasn't considering
programmatically creating the DailyRollingFileAppender. Babu, I
think what you are looking for is using a system property to define
the file name for the appender. For instance...
log4j.appender.myRollingAppender.File=/logs/${myRollingAppenderFileName}
If your configuration code, make sure you set the system property
"myRollingAppenderFileName" before you call one of the configure()
methods. Or, just add something like
"-DmyRollingAppenderFileName=someFileName.log" to the command line
where you start your java program. In the latter case, you can use
Log4j auto-configuration rather than having to call configure() manually.
