Setting cas.log.dir in management.properties does not override System
properties. At least not that I was able to figure out. So passing
-Dcas.log.dir=/some/dir/ to your startup script should sub
${sys:cas.log.dir} correctly in your log42j.xml. I also think that setting
a default in the .xml file to be overridden by sys property is not
achievable. If you just want to set the log dir in property file in the
xml, then just use ${cas.log.dir} and drop the sys: prefix.
More on this can be found here:
