Description

With following log configuration

<RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="${sys:user.home}/logs/app.log"
                 filePattern="${sys:user.home}/logs/app-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}.log">
      <PatternLayout>
        <pattern>%d %p %c{1.} [%t] %m%n</pattern>
      </PatternLayout>
      <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
    </RollingFile>

When start, the file name is created correctly (C:\user/logs/app.log) but when the file will rotate with file pattern, the path name is wrong. The system property user.home doesn't has slashes. C:user/logs/app-0915-2014.log

Issue Links

• is broken by: LOG4J2-682 Special characters (tab and so on) in PatternLayout do not work
• is duplicated by: LOG4J2-755 Log File not rollover in windows tomcat
• is duplicated by: LOG4J2-877 RollingFile ignoring ${sys:user.home} in filePattern which is working correct in fileName
