Small correction: the system property is set via "-Dmyapp.logs=foobar", of course. Just a typo during posting...

There I would like to use the placeholder substitution to allow configuration of the log location. I tried this: <Properties> <!-- sets the path for log4j logs: 1. check whether java system property myapp.logs is set. If not: 2. check whether the OS environment variable MYAPP_LOGS is set. If not: 3. use logs dir in the current directory --> <Property name="logsPath">${sys:mypapp.logs:-${env:MYAPP_LOGS:-logs}}</Property> </Properties> This seems to work quite well with the exception, if myapp.logs is set, the path ends with "}". So if I set the system property "-Depss.logs=foobar" it creates the directory "foobar}" and puts the logs into that. For the ENV substitution it works. It also works when NO placeholder nesting is performed. So I guess the problem has something todo with that. Can somebody confirm seeing the same?
