log4j配置相对路径实现日志记录（Log4j configure the relative path to achieve logging） A method, the solution is naturally think of ways to use a relative path instead of the absolute path, in fact, log4j FileAppender itself has such a mechanism, such as: log4j.appender.logfile.File=${WORKDIR}/logs/app.log Where ${WORKDIR}/ is a variable, will be System Property in the WORKDIR value instead of. In this way, we can before loading the log4j configuration file, using System.setProperty (WORKDIR, WORKDIR); set the root path, this operation can be carried out through the initial servlet, specific practice. Before did not find the skills, in order to solve this problem, I had extended the log4j RollingFileAppender class, the other FileAppender similarly. The extension of the method is to override the setFile method with a sub class, this method reads the configuration file generated in the appender log4j when the call, the incoming path is in the configuration file, so I can follow their own ideas in the path ahead with the root path. Two, the server can use environment variables The configuration file of log4j server supports the VM environment variable format similar to ${catalina.home} Log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender Log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.home}/logs/logs_tomcat.log Log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=10KB ${catalina.home} is not a Windows system for the environmental variables, the environment variables do not need to set up in the Windows system environment variables. So, you can look at the tomcat\bin\catalina.bat (startup, shutdown are calling this) which comes with -Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME%. Inherited this idea, so you can set yourself a -Dmylog.home= parameter D:/abc/log to the VM parameters corresponding to the start of the Java Server Three, through the servlet (init) to realize the relative path initialization loading file attribute method Implementation: to make a servlet, when loaded in the system, the properties file read into a properties f
