logback: FileNamePattern from application.properties

I would like to get the file name of my logback file from a property defined in the 

application.properties

but I don't know if it is possible

<fileNamePattern>${user.home}/logs/>${logFileName}.%i.log.zip</fileNamePattern>
Solution

  • You can register your application.properties file in the logback.xml configuration file. logback will then recognize the properties defined in that file.

    logback.xml:

    <property resource="application.properties"/>
