Paul, your updated log4j.properties file location (directory or jar) must appear prior to axis.jar. Alternatively, you can remove log4j.properties from axis.jar... Mine looks like (I've marked changed lines with '>>', note also that if you change the threshold from 'INFO' to 'DEBUG' for the console you will get A LOT of junk.. can slow things down, better to leave that as 'INFO' for console, and have the whole enchilada dumped to file..):
# Set root category priority to INFO and its only appender to CONSOLE. >>#log4j.rootCategory=INFO, CONSOLE >>log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, CONSOLE, LOGFILE # Set the enterprise logger category to FATAL and its only appender to CONSOLE. log4j.logger.org.apache.axis.enterprise=FATAL, CONSOLE # CONSOLE is set to be a ConsoleAppender using a PatternLayout. log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.CONSOLE.Threshold=INFO log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=- %m%n # LOGFILE is set to be a File appender using a PatternLayout. log4j.appender.LOGFILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.LOGFILE.File=axis.log log4j.appender.LOGFILE.Append=true >>log4j.appender.LOGFILE.Threshold=DEBUG log4j.appender.LOGFILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n ******************************************* Richard A.

I looked at the Documentation and have edited the log4j.properties file to display error messages. However, I see nothing on the console (I am definitely getting errors that generate logs - I want to see those logs). Does anyone have any tips on getting this to work properly? I have briefly checked and I don't think there are any other properties files on my classpath. Paul Hunnisett www.lombok.org.uk
