Description

i upadate web project log framework from log4j to log4j2(2.11.2).

system is windows10.

i add a log4j2.xml

 

<Properties>
    <!-- below is the wrong path ,not a full path in winows,it's for linux -->
    <property name="basePath">/opt/maxtech/tomcat_logs/newhrlogs</property>
    <!-- below is the right path-->
    <!--<property name="basePath">D:\opt\maxtech\tomcat_logs\log4j2</property>-->
    <property name="loggz">loggz</property>
    <property name="rolling_fileName">${basePath}/hhrapp.log</property>
</Properties>
<appenders>


<RollingFile name="error_log" fileName="${rolling_fileName}"
             filePattern="${basePath}/${loggz}/hrapp-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss}.log">
    <PatternLayout pattern="${log_pattern}"/>
    <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="30"/>
    <Filters>
        <ThresholdFilter level="DEBUG" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
    </Filters>
    <Policies>

        <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="20 MB"/>
        <!--                <CronTriggeringPolicy schedule="0 0 0 * * ? *"/>-->
        <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="11" modulate="true"/>
    </Policies>

</RollingFile>

 
with wrong basepath=/opt/maxtech/tomcat_logs/newhrlogs

log4j2 after tomcat start,create log file in tomcat disk partition.

ex:my tomcat path=d:\...\tomcat log file path  will be D:\opt\maxtech\tomcat_logs\log4j2.

start tomcat ceate log file is  just fine.But the Policies will not work anymore.

unless i change the basepath to a fullpath in windows,

like: d:\opt\maxtech\tomcat_logs\log4j2 

or ${sys:catalina.base}/somepath/log4j2

 

After tomcat start Log4j2 can create file(with not full path),why could't create file use Policies configuration and no error msg .
