After upgrading our systems from 4.0 to 4.1 I am having a tough time
figuring out how to configure log4j. Our old system had a
log4j.properties file in a custom spot that we had ActiveMQ pull in
with "--extdir /some/config/dir".
AFIAK log4j will look on the classpath for log4j.properties - so will
end up looking in the directories on the classpath. So the directory
containing the file needs to be on the classpath - not the properties
files. Adding files to the classpath is only relevant for jars and
zips
This turned out to be kind of the problem. The directory's contents
were being added to the classpath, but not the directory itself. I
added more commentary + a patch in http://issues.apache.org/activemq/
browse/AMQ-1096
