It's working at last!!! =) :-) I put the file log4j.jar into the "webapps/<appName>/WEB-INF/lib" folder and it worked!
I added the -Dlog4j.debug=true line into catalina.bat and found that log4j initialization couldn't find log4j.properties file. So out of frustration I copied the files log4j.jar and log4j.properties into every single folder in "webapps/<appName>" and started tomcat. Got a shock when it actually started initializing correctly! Went through some trial and testing and found out the cause of all my woes for the past week... This is all thanks to you Mr Ebersole! I thank you very much! =) Gratefully, Ronnie P.S. Maybe this problem could be highlighted in the documentation? I had thought Tomcat should be able to find all required libraries in "common/lib" but turned out to be false in my case. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Ebersole" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Log4J Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, 01 March, 2003 10:49 PM Subject: Re: Really Newbie Problem > Probabaly not.
