Thanks Jake, Maybe I should back up...
Since Struts is using commons-logging, do I need to include any Log4J jar files? What is commons-logging using under the covers? -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 1:02 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: setting up log4j Put log4j.jar and commons-logging-adapters-1.1.jar (see commons-logging release notes for this newly distributed jar) in WEB-INF/lib. This assumes that commons-logging-api.jar is in the classpath. If this doesn't work, just use the commons-logging-1.1.jar. Put your Log4j config file in WEB-INF/classes. You might want to use log4j.xml, since the XML config files are picked up in preference to the properties files and if there is a log4j.xml elsewhere on the classpath, Log4j might use it instead of the properties file you think it is using. When in doubt, set -Dlog4j.debug=true.
