Hello jerry,
Thanks for reporting this issue, I'm not very familiar with the spring
version but from the looks of it the issue has been around for ... a long
time.
It looks like the log4j2.xml file would work with run.sh but not with
james.sh
One option to fix this is to change the 4th line of the file from
> <Property name="logDir">${sys:app.home}/log</Property>
to
> <Property name="logDir">${sys:app.home:-..}/log</Property>
setting the default log directory to '../log'
Here is a sed command to do the edit in place
> sed -i 's/{sys:app.home}/{sys:app.home:-..}/' conf/log4j2.xml
If you can confirm this works I'll push the fix on master
You solution relies on setting an absolute path in the wrapper.conf which
cannot be generalized so I'm looking for an alternative
Cheers (and happy new year!)
Jean
