Switching to XML configuration does not work

[Rakesh Patel]

Hi,

Probably something basic but at present my testcase intialises log4j
like this and it works:

PropertyConfigurator.configure("c:/Projects/FETServer/conf/log4j.propert
ies");

Now I want to swap to XML file configuration (only because I could not
get SMTPAppender working and found xml examples!). So I changed the
code:

PropertyConfigurator.configure("c:/Projects/FETServer/conf/log4j.xml");

However, there's no logging of my app anymore so I think its not finding
the xml file.

Anyone know whats wrong?

Thanks

Rakesh

PS here's my log4j.xml file
