Re: getting error log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) on windows

[Jacob Kjome]

Does the "logs" directory exist relative to the base directory (i.e., the 
directory from which the application was started)?  I know it was an issue in 
older Log4j versions that it wouldn't make directories.  I'm not sure if this 
was addressed in later versions or not?  But you can avoid this by ensuring 
that the directory you want the file to exist within already exists prior to 
application startup.

Hi All,
            I am getting the "file not found exception" error when running
my application using the below properties file .
Why is log4j unable to create the logs directory on its own? This problem is
seen only on windows , its working fine on linux.
Can some one please help me on this.
