How to create log file in in tomcat/logs folder

java, log4j, logging

Solution

You can set it like this

log4j.appender.fileAppender.file=${catalina.base}/logs/mylog.log

Problem

I'm using log4j to log in application. Now the log file is created in the some location, like j:/logs/mylog.log, I want the log file mylog.log to be created in the tomcat/logs foder. How to set this? Now current log4j property is as follows ``` log4j.appender.fileAppender=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender log4j.appender.fileAppender.datePattern=dd MMM yyyy log4j.appender.fileAppender.file=/logs/test/parent/LearnFile.log ```
