Thank you for the recommendation on log4j.xml, I will keep it in mind. I'm new to the project team, but will see if I can convince them to change to .xml insead of .properties. I'll probably change it myself after becoming familiar with Log4J.
I looked in the Unix system, and there were a few Log4J property files on different projects, since the log4j.jar file is located under /tomcat/ .... /shared/ folder it's probably reading the property files from other projects and/or tomcat folder , I have a few more tasks to complete on the project and will investigate the file conflicts after a few days. -Regards Rashmi ----- Original Message ---- From: James Stauffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Log4J Users List <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 2, 2007 1:43:08 PM Subject: Re: Newbie trying to change Standard Output log to File log If you change to use a log4j.xml the will be used in preference to any log4j.properties.
