RE: Regarding log4J creating logs in tomcat logs folder using FileAppender

Another point: the location of the log4j output is normally specified in a log4j.properties or log4j.xml file to make reconfiguration easier; why are you trying to do this programmatically? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
