You need to make sure the log4j.properties file is in the classpath of the client. There is one that ships with 1.2rc3 in the lib directory. Contents as follows:
# Set root category priority to INFO and its only appender to CONSOLE. log4j.rootCategory=INFO, CONSOLE #log4j.rootCategory=INFO, 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=INFO log4j.appender.LOGFILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n You will probably run into other output complaining about missing classes which can be solved by getting the java activation framework and javamail from the Sun site and making sure those too are in your client classpath http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/downloads/index.

Back in February someone reported a problem with the Axis 1.2 always reporting the following. log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.axis.i18n.ProjectResourceBundle). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. This occurs when trying to execute any client SOAP application. There is no follow on e-mail thread and I need to solve the same problem. Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to get this to stop? I am running Java 1.5 with Axis 1.2 RC3. Not that the server side should matter, but I'm running Tomcat 5.5. Cliff
