[Bodington-developers] servlet log4j paths

[Alistair Y. <ali...@sm...>]

log4j gurus - is there any way to get a RollingFileAppender to be  
servlet aware? What I mean is:

<appender name="AuthenticatorRolling"  
class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
     <param name="File" value="/WWW/bod/WEB-INF/logs/bod.log"/>
     <param name="MaxFileSize" value="100KB"/>
     <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="2"/>
     <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
       <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%m%n"/>
     </layout>
   </appender>

<param name="File" value="/WWW/bod/WEB-INF/logs/bod.log"/>

is there any way to do a getRealPath sort of thing to get:

<param name="File" value="/WEB-INF/logs/bod.log"/>

i.e. remove the machine dependant part of the path?

 From where is the "File" parameter resolved? WEB-INF/classes/ 
org/..whatever package/class that logs?

ta,
Alistair
