Yeah - Each RollingFile appender is only going to be created once for each type
value so it will always use the value of path from the first request. To do
what you want with the RoutingAppender you would have to add a second
RoutingAppender inside each Route where your RollingFile Appender currently is
and have that route based on the path.
I should point out that the model you are using can become very expensive if
the number of paths is large as you will have many open files that only close
when the application stops. To combat this you might consider implementing a
PurgePolicy to remove Appenders as their jobs complete. You could look at the
IdlePurgePolicy to get any idea how to accomplish that.
