G'day,

Is it possible to specify a log filename in the XML log4j properties file so
that it is relative to the web applications root directory?

I have the following in a log4j.xml file located in web-inf/classes with the
log4j jar in the web-inf/lib directory.  Logging seems to be fine except the
"rascal.log" file is being created in the Tomcat application directory under
C:\Program Files\ and not in the C:\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\... Directory tree.
I'd prefer to have the log files in something like
../webapps/<application>/logs/<logfilename>.  Is this possible?

BTW, took a while to find the rascal.log file!!!
