The javadocs and the code indicate that
PropertyConfigurator.configure(String) expects String to be the path to
a file. So this method doesn't use the class loader. It's looking for a
filepath, so as Anuj said, using just "log4j.properties", the file would
have to be in the directory where the VM started up.
A full filepath name should find the file. Jason, maybe you've got file
separator problems? A '\' instead of a '/'. Idunno.
