I'm not completely sure about all the workings of JULI, but yes, if you use Logj4-1.2.xx, then you need to use the .properties format for Tomcat. The reason is that the logger names that Tomcat uses for its host and context loggers contain characters that aren't allowed in an XML attribute of type "id". In the DOMConfigurator, the "name" attribute is of type "id". For instance, a host logger would look like this... org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost] The square brackets aren't allowed by an attribute of type "id" in XML. And since the DOMConfigurator uses a DTD, this is enforced. In Log4j-1.3, use of the JoranConfigurator, which doesn't use a DTD, works around this. Of course, we could release a modified version of the DTD in Log4j-1.2.12 with the "name" attribute not declared as of type "id". Thoughts?
