[Jigar Naik]

hello guys...

i'm trying to create log file for my application but its not getting created at specified path instead it is creating log file at root

i'm using linux operating system.

how should i specify the path.
above is the log4j.peroperties file where i'm specifing the path.

log4j.rootLogger=debug, A1, A2
#
#------------------------------------------------------
#Create an appender called A1 that will log to a file
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
message format:YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss,ms <PRIORITY> classname.message
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d <%-5p> %F - %m - (%F:%L)\n
#file that will be logged to
log4j.appender.A1.File=//usr//jboss-4.0.2//server//default//log//ToollOG//Tools.log
log4j.appender.A1.Append=false
log4j.appender.A1.MaxFileSize=1024KB
log4j.appender.A1.MaxBackupIndex=5
#
#------------------------------------------------------
#
#Create an appender called A2 that will log to the console
log4j.appender.A2=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d <%-5p> %F - %m - (%F:%L)\n

Use this

log4j.appender.A1.File=/usr/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/log/ToollOG/Tools.log

" // " double forward slash is used for writing comments in Java.

For the path, you could use double backward slash or single forward.

Example:

C:\\usr\\jboss-4.0.2\\server\\default\\log\\ToollOG\\Tools.log

OR

C:/usr/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/log/ToollOG/Tools.log
