Michal, 1) Have you tried simplifying your settings? Maybe just use FileAppender instead of the DailyRollingFileAppender. You just want to see if you get any messages to start with...
2) Have you set the -Dlog4j.debug=true in the tomcat command line? This will print out messages from log4j as it initializes using the property file. I don't know which tomcat log they will end up in (or just end up in the console), but you should see them somewhere. 3) You may want to look at using an instance of LoggingRepository per web application. Each web app would then have it's own space to configure use, separate from the containers space. Ceki has a web page that discusses this somewhat, but I cannot find the link to it at the moment...Ceki? hth, -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Michal Straczynski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 8:51 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Log4j & Tomcat once more > > > Hello! > I'm using Tomcat 4.0.5 and Log4j 1.2.6, there are 2 webapps > deployed in > Tomcat, each of them should log messages to the separated files using > Log4j.
