I don't know if log4j can do it automatically, but what we did was to extend

Is it possible to put envirinment variables into the configuration file?

I do this:
appender name=prfLogFile
class=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender

As Alison Ortega mentioned, log4j configurators support the substitution of
system properties, actually properties in general. Quite a handy feature...

Just making sure: note that these are system properties, not environment
variables. You need to use -D when starting java to transport individual
environment variables to the system properties.
