If the Wrapper is unable to write to the specified log file for any 
reason then it will
fall back to writing to a file called wrapper.log in the same directory 
as the
Wrapper.exe is located. This is the correct behavior.

There are a number of reasons why the Wrapper may not be able to write
to the ../log/ directory.
1) Make sure the directory exists. This relative location should be 
relative to
the location of the Wrapper.exe
2) Does this work correctly when you are running in console mode rather than
as a service? If so, it is possible that this is a permission problem. 
Make sure
that you have not configured the log directory in such a way that the user
running the Wrapper is not able to write to. By default, the Wrapper runs as
the SYSTEM user when running as a service.

This is actually the correct behavior given #1. The Wrapper will not 
attempt to
do any log rolling of the fall back log file. That only works on the 
configured
log file.

This format change works in the fall back file.

I only got the section where you are defining the logging. But from what 
I can see,
everything looks ok. Once you solve #1, everything should start working 
correctly.
