Hello all,
I am trying to write a logfile to "c:\documents and settings\<userid>\Temp"
on a windows machine. The problem I have is that depending on which machine
the program is installed on or who logs in, the <userid> directory will
change. For instance, if "jsmith" logs in, his log file should appear in
"c:\documents and settings\jsmith\Temp", but if "jdoe" runs the program from
his account, the log should appear in "c:\documents and settings\jdoe\Temp".
In my log4j.properties file, I don't know how to make this <userid> a
variable. I only know how to hardcode it as follows:
log4j.appender.R.File=log/whatever.log Can anyone help me? Regards, Sal Gabier
