I have about 10 Java applications running all over this network and in lieu of organizing a common network directory to log to, I am using a SocketAppender. My problem is that we used to log to a local drive and used an arbitrary system property (that we set) called app.user.name and we used this to create a log file called .log.

Now we want seperate files to be generated by the SimpleSocketServer, and obviously it does not know what the user name of the submitting user is, so I cannot figure out how to generate a seperate file for each user.

Any ideas ?
