For those of you who are using dhis2-live you might have been frustrated to discover that log4j.properties in WEB-INF/classes is being ignored.
After much searching I discovered that dhis2-live has a log4j.properties file in the dhis2-live.jar which is the one that is used. Of course I should have known that because I put it there, but it was a long time ago :-( It is there to ensure the logs get written to the right directory and to make jetty happy. Anyway lessons learned: 1. If you ever find looking for a file in an endless sea of jars you can try this: for f in $(find . -iname '*.jar'); do echo looking for log4j.properties in $f; unzip -t $f;done |grep log4j.properties Assuming you have bash and find and unzip and grep of course. 2. If you are debugging with dhis2-live and want to customize the log level: eg I wanted to append the line log4j.category.org.hisp.dhis.importexport= DEBUG Just poke your custom log4j.properties into the jar like this: zip dhis2-live.jar log4j.properties We live and we learn ....
