[rules-users] FileLogger base dir with Drools running in JBoss

[Kris Verlaenen]

Heiko,

The file logger simply creates a log file on the location you specify. 
If you specify a relative path, it will be created relative to the
directory the application is running in (which is basically the bin
directory of your app server in most cases when you deploy to an app
server).  You can also just specify a full path (use / in front).

I would suggest simply adding some configurability in your setup code if
you need multiple locations based on the context:

String path = ... // compute configurable path here
KnowledgeRuntimeLogger logger =
  KnowledgeRuntimeLoggerFactory.newFileLogger(ksession, path, 500);
