logback logs location with external properties

[solairerove]

So, what's the issue.

According to reference, logging.path property in application.properties maps to ${LOG_PATH} in logback-*.xml file. It's working good with absolute /var/logs and relative logs paths. But when i get external property in such way:

with java -jar *.jar --external.config=*.properties i have an issue, cause of starting logback first.

So property is not defined in such way. To resolve it, i get new variable ${LOG_HOME:-logs} in logback and use java -DLOG_HOME=/path/to/logs -jar *.jar --external.config=*.properties. The last working enough.

Is there some other fabulous way to resolve it through properties?
