Iam migrating my project from log4j 1.2.17 to 2.10.0.
I have following file appender configuartion in 1.2.17 properties format.
log4j.appender.example=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.example.file=./target/test-classes/example.log
log4j.appender.example.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.example.layout.ConversionPattern=%m%n
how to configure the above target folder file configuration in log4j2 xml format.
Thanks in advance.
Here is an example configuration provided by log4j2 doc
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="warn" name="MyApp" packages="">
<Appenders>
// This section represents your properties
<File name="MyFile" fileName="./target/test-classes/example.log">
<PatternLayout>
<Pattern>%m%n</Pattern>
</PatternLayout>
</File>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="error">
<AppenderRef ref="MyFile"/>
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>

You can use a param tag inside appender. Something like
<appender name="example" class="exampleClass">
.....
<param name="file" value="./target/test-classes/example.log" />
.....
</appender>
