Answer 1

I have Solved path issue of log4j.xml in mac :

in windows we configure log4j in web.xml like :

    
        org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener
    

     
        log4jConfigLocation 
        file:${LOG4J_HOME}/conf/log4j.xml 


     

    
        log4jRefreshInterval
        6000
    

Where ${LOG4J_HOME} is user varible we use to set in window. like

user variable = LOG4J_HOME value = D:/LOG4J (in d drive we have created a folder of name Log4J we copied that path and gave as a value)

In mac we have envirenvirent variable set fasility by bash command, but it didint work anymore.

so for mac we have to create one folder any where and we have to give static path of that folder.

like in xml :

        org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener
    

     
        log4jConfigLocation 
        file:/Users/vardhaman/Desktop/LOG4J/conf/log4j.xml 


     

    
        log4jRefreshInterval
        6000
    

Same way we have to do in log4j.xml file

In window we use to do like :

In mac :

in place of value we have to copy static path up to folder LOG4J, or you can create any folder.
