How to give dynamic file name in the appender in log4j.xml

Question

I am using log4j to log information. I have used a log4j.xml file for creating log files. I have given the absolute path for each log file as a param

It makes more sense to extend FileAppender with your own class, in which you override setOptions() method. Then in your log4j.properties you configure root to log to yourpackage.yourFileAppender, which is much cleaner.
