Log4J Issue

[harbir hundal]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to configure the loggin to my web application.

This is where I want my application to put the logs:

C:\installs\JBossServer\jboss-6-0\server\default\log\kiche

If I do the following in the log4J.properties, the logs are created fine:

log4j.appender.R.File =C:\\installs\\JBossServer\\jboss-6-0\\server\\default\\log\\kiche\\kicheapp.log

I have an environment variable

JOBSS_HOME=C:\installs\JBossServer\jboss-6-0

And when I do like following in the log4J.properties, it not working.

log4j.appender.R.File=${JBOSS_HOME}\\server\\default\\log\\kiche\\kicheapp.log

Can someone please help me, I want to use JBOSS_HOME, so that its not hardcoded.

I am using JBOSS as a webserver.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Adofo

Have you read http://docs.jboss.org/process-guide/en/html/logging.html
I will move this topic over to the JBoss forum, where you stand a better chance of getting your question answered.

JBoss AS sets certain system properties which you can use here. For pointing to the log folder of the server, you can use:

log4j.appender.R.File=${jboss.server.log.dir}/kiche/kicheapp.log

Also, see this blog for an example.
