[logback-user] [Question] fileNamePattern in logback.xml

[Seeta Vadali]

Dear Logback team,

 

          First of all I am not very sure is it correct way to ask questions
regarding logback. I couldn't find any forum. I thought of creating bug in
JIRA (http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK <http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK> )
but I don't have rights .... So I am dropping mail to given mail id... 

 

          Coming to bug : 

          ------------------ 

          I am trying to optimize logback.xml file in our environment.
Logging directory location we are specifying in more than one location so I
am trying to create a variable ( property ) to hold log directory and reuse.
Now problem is if path is "D:\seeta\log" then logback is stripping out all
back ward slashes and giving it as "D:seetalog". I know if I use forward
slash or double slash it works fine but I cannot control the user who use my
tool. Can you please help us in fixing it? 

 

          Working scenario 

          =============

          <configuration>

      ...

      <fileNamePattern>
d:\seeta\log\cd_core.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern>

      ...

</configuration>

          NON-Working Scenario

          ==============

          <configuration>

...

      <property name="log.dir" value="d:\seeta\log"/>

      ...

 
<fileNamePattern>${log.dir}\cd_core.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern>

      ...

</configuration>

 

 

 

 

NOTE : I have attached logback.jar and configuration files. Here
{{logback_working.xml}} is existing configuration and trying to modify to {{
logback_NOT_working.xml}}

 

Regards,

Seeta Vadali
