PropertyConfigurator.configure() does like an absolute path and you still
can give it one using a relative web path in your webapp directory. You can
even specify the relative path your struts resource file ( if you chose to
do so ).
If you use a startup servlet, something like this should work:
MessageResources messages = (MessageResources)
getServletContext().getAttribute(Action.MESSAGES_KEY);
Properties props = new Properties();
try {
FileInputStream inFile = new
FileInputStream(getServletContext().getRealPath(messages.getMessage("Log.Pro
pertiesFile")) );
props.load(inFile);
inFile.close();
// manipulate what needs to be manipulated :-)
props.setProperty("log4j.appender.stdlog.File",
getServletContext().getRealPath(messages.getMessage("Log.Qwickrate")) );
props.setProperty("log4j.appender.ddrlog.File",
getServletContext().getRealPath(messages.getMessage("Log.DDR")) );
// configure the logging device
PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);
} catch (IOException io) {
System.out.println(io.getMessage());
}
