Hi Ionel,
you could use the following work-around to determine, what your log4j is
doing - it did help me too :)
public void initializeLog4j(String propertyfileName) {
System.out.println("looking for property file with name "+
propertyfileName);
url =
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(propertyfileName).toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: Could not find property file with name
"+propertyfileName+".");
throw new RuntimeException("Could not initialize log4j");
}
System.out.println("found it: "+url);
if (url.indexOf(".jar!") == -1) {
url = url.substring(url.indexOf(":")+1);
System.out.println("using watchdog on url: "+url);
PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch(url);
} else {
System.out.println("just configure, no watching. url: "+url);
PropertyConfigurator.configure(url);
}
}
This could show you, wether log4j found the properties-file and uses it and
you misconfigured it, or it cannot even be found on the classpath.
