Answer 1

You can do it by configure appender pragmatically

  FileAppender fa = new FileAppender();
  fa.setFile("/test/crm/log/error.log");
  fa.setLayout(new 
   PatternLayout("%C{1} %L [%t] %d{dd MMM,yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p - %m%n"));
  fa.setThreshold(Level.ERROR);
  fa.setAppend(true);
  fa.activateOptions();
  Logger.getRootLogger().addAppender(fa);
  // similarly you can add all appenders.

 // or just append file name alone 
 Logger log = Logger.getLogger(YourClass.class);
 FileAppender appender = (FileAppender) log.getAppender("ErrorLog");
 appender.setFile("appender");
