log4j usage questions should be asked on
log4j-user@....
The enhanced pattern layout in the extras companions supports time
zone specifiers on date formats. To use:
Download the extras companion from
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras
and place jar on classpath.

The contents of the second brace pair is passed to
java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone() to get the appropriate time zone.
There is a guaranteed set of time zone identifiers and then a lot that
are platform or implementation specific. If you use "America/
New_York", your configuration file may not work properly if you change
platforms or implementations. See the documentation of
java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone() for more specifics.
