Hi James,
In the FAQ (the committed one, not the one on the website), there's a
suggstion to try the following in your Servlet:
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("log4j.properties
");
And see if you get null back. If you get the URL back correctly, then
you're probably using an older version of Log4J.
Let me know if this works out for you.
