How to set CATALINA_HOME in log4j.xml?

问题

I need something like this:

"param name="File" value="${CATALINA_HOME}/logs/log4j.log"

I saw a lot of similar questions, but there is no working solutions.

回答1:

You can do the following:

send the CATALINA_HOME as an environment variable using -D option. You just have to run

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -DCATALINA_HOME=%CATALINA_HOME% if you are on windows or export JAVA_OPTS=${JAVA_OPTS} -DCATALINA_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME for unix.

Now just use ${CATALINA_HOME} into your log4j configuration file and this should work.

For Tomcat 6.0 or newer use catalina.base (rather than catalina.home):

param name="File" value="${catalina.base}/logs/log4j.log"

Depending on the host system, the two may be different, for example:

catalina.home: /usr/share/tomcat7
catalina.base: /var/lib/tomcat7

Under catalina.home there's the bin folder.

Under catalina.base there are conf, logs, webapps and other folders/links.

Tomcat uses catalina.base itself to configure the logging directory - see conf/logging.properties where it says:

1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs

回答3:

param name="File" value="${catalina.home}/logs/log4j.log"

The catalina.home property is already made available by Tomcat.

Find a (very) brief example on the Tomcat 5.5 logging page and additional detail in the following SO question:
