Hi Paul, With Cactus 1.3, you have to provide a cactus_client.properties and cactus_server.properties files. You cannot use an XML one as Cactus is not using Log4J DOMConfigurator.
The config files that are driving are Cactus ones (as the test are under the control of Cactus). Thus you need to add your appenders to the Cactus properties files. The Cactus files are empty because Cactus only logs statements in DEBUG mode (and by default the level is WARN in cactus_client and cactus_server.properties). That said, we have changed this mechanism in Cactus 1.4 (not release yet but available from CVS and nightly builds). Cactus is now using Jakarta Commons Logging and is completely log system agnostic, including for configurations. So you could simply drop your log4j.xml in your classpath, adding the cactus categories if you wish.
