Hi,

Specifying "${catalina.base}" or "${catalina.home}" should work if you
started tomcat=20
using bin\startup.bat file as this script converts the environment
variable CATALINA_HOME=20
into a -D system property on the java command line. =20

Log4J tries to resolve properties surrounded by "${" and "}" by calling
System.getProperty=20
on the value.  This will not resolve environment variables, only java
properties specified using -D
See the javadoc on org.apache.log4j.helpers.OptionConvertor substVars
method for more details

If you start tomcat using the supplied windows shortcut which starts
using bin\bootstrap.jar no system=20
Properties get set by default.

Hope this helps

Andy =20

Did you try $CATALINA_HOME (on unix) or for your case %CATALINA_HOME%
since you're on NT?  The syntax with the curly braces is for Ant. You're
trying to access environment variables.

variable,

Same thing for file.separator, although I don't think that's always
defined as it is in java.
