Would be nice if FileAppender could create necessary dirs in path to the file where necessary: e.g. if I specify a filename, /var/logs/myapp/name.log but some of the dirs don't exist, I just get an error. Would be nice if it was possible to have log4j create the dirs if necessary. I suppose this might not be wanted as a default setting, but there could be a boolean createDirs property to turn this functionality on. Wouldn't mind writing a patch for this if the idea is accepted.
