If you just use log4j, by default it looks for a file named "log4j.xml" or log4j.properties" in the classpath. If it finds one of them, then it uses it to configure itself (with the proper configurator).
There are schemes for initializing log4j in a web application if you have a different name for your file or want it to live in a different place. There are servlets and app context listeners that can be configured to locate the file and then use it to configure. -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Schuweiler, Joel J.
