    Resolution: Rejected


This is the wrong place to do this.  What you should do is define a path called "my-logging" or whatever, and use an expression for its value.  Then your logging file handler should be relative to that directory.  This solves your problem with existing logic.

We cannot support expressions in the "relative-to" attribute because there is a degree of referential integrity in the management model that must be maintained.

> Support expressions for "file relative-to" attribute.
> Currently "file relative-to" does not support pointing to an environment variable.
> We have an environment variable setup to define the folder that all logging goes to.
> We would like to have JBoss logging use this environment variable rather than have
> to manually define the path again in the server config file.
