So to make sure I understand correctly:
xx_log4j.properties is a file in some directory which you have defined to
your IDE as being part of the classpath? Correct?
There are a number of ways to get log4j to be able to read this file in
order to configure itself:
1) Simply rename the file from xx_log4j.properties to log4j.properties
2) If your IDE supports setting of environmental properties (-D options),
try setting log4j.configuration=xx_log4j.properties
3) Explicitly locate the file yourself and "feed it" to log4j. Locating a
file relative from the classpath is acheived using the
ClassLoader.getResource() or ClassLoader.getSystemResouce() methods (they
return URL objects). Try: String fullPath =
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource( "xx_log4j.properties"
).toExternalForm();

|Subject: Can't read property file in log4j
|
|
|
|Hello all,
| I'm still a beginner using Log4J, I'm trying using
|property file for setting the confirguration for log4j in
|a test java file with main method, I set the classpath -
|in Oracle JDeveloper 9i_3 - for a location that reside
|with xx_log4j.properties, but the file was never read,
|except I write the full path of it, I opened the source of
|the PropertyConfigurator & I found that it reads the file
|using Properties class, which I think does not search the
|classpath for file.
|so any suggestion ?!?!?!?!?!
|I thought for an idea to use something to search the
|classpath for the file, then get the absolute path and
|pass it in the PropertyConfigurator, I tried
|to use ResourceBundle class but there is no method to
|return the absolute path.
|so any suggestion to determine a file in the classpath
|?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
