HI,
  I'm using Soapui-2.0 on a RH Linux box, I'm a build engineer calling Ant from Hudson (sort of like cruise control but better imho) . i'm exec-ing a script to call a modified version of testrunner.sh and have hacked testrunner.sh to run with the following flags -a -j -h $host -f $resultsdir $xmlfile. The problem I have is the log files (soapui.log and soapui-errors.log) are being written to the ANT parent directory. I can probably change the location to SOAPUI_HOME by doing a chdir to SOAPUI_HOME in my script, However that would put all the log files from every build there.

I've been reading about soapui-log4j.xml , and soapui.properties  but I can't find any examples of either, and have exactly zero experience writing log4j.xml files.

I would like to have a way to write the log files to a results directory that gets clobbered before every run.

Thanks in advance for any help
Pete

Thank you this works.

I was able to set it as a variable. I added an additional flag to testrunner.sh

soapui_log_dir=$4

then passed it to to java.

java -Dsoapui.properties=soapui.properties -
Dsoapui.log.dir=${soapui_log_dir} -cp $SOAPUI_CLASSPATH com.eviware.soapui.tools.SoapUITestCaseRunner $options

This allows me to define the log dir on the fly from my ant task that kicks off the soap ui tests.

In the soapui-log4j.xml file I changed the lines you suggested to
    <param name="File" value="${soapui.log.dir}/soapui.log"/>
    <param name="File" value="${soapui.log.dir}/soapui-errors.log"/>
