Description

I attach a patch related to this mailing list post - http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/logging-log4j-user/201506.mbox/%3CCAPK0icj%3DY3T9ptBGyGdgbHyMow_YWcfwC6UdLHS-QbgnBk8wkA%40mail.gmail.com%3E

The patch makes the properties `log4j:configLocation` and `log4j:configParentLocation` available for substitution in the log4j configuration file.
