I am using log4j with servlets in an IBM WebSphere environment. Everything is fine when I run with my single server addition on my PC but when I deploy to our development platform I get the following messages in stderr and log4j doesn't work. log4j:WARN Failed to set property [maxBackupIndex] to value "3". object is not an instance of declaring class log4j:WARN Failed to set property [file] to value "/data/TECdde/logs/DDEWEBEJB.log". object is not an instance of declaring class log4j:WARN Failed to set property [maxFileSize] to value "5000KB". object is not an instance of declaring class log4j:WARN File option not set for appender [logfile]. log4j:WARN Are you using FileAppender instead of ConsoleAppender? I found a reference to this same issue occurring with Resin but I'm afraid I don't understand the solution that was given. Here is the URL of the reference that I found... http://www.mail-archive.com/log4j-dev@;jakarta.apache.org/msg01609.html <http://www.mail-archive.com/log4j-dev@;jakarta.apache.org/msg01609.html> My circumstances are slightly different in that my situation does not improve if I re-cycle the application server. If any one can give me a better understanding of the circumstances in which this behavior occurs I would appreciate it. I am using log4j-1.2.1.jar. There is another application running on the same server using log4j-1.2.6.jar that is not having the problem but I looked at the history archive and there is nothing in the description of the changes between log4j-1.2.1 and log4j-1.2.6 that looks promising to me but may be I'm not reading the tea leaves correctly. I can provide even more information if required. I could attach my servlet code that initializes log4j in the init() method.
