yes, using Tomcat 4.1.31 my logging seems to work fine, for the most part, with Tomcat's built in FileLogger class.
My commons-logging.jar file is in the following dir: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31\server\lib My commons-logging-api.jar is indeed in the commons\lib class. I'll throw log4j's jar file in there and see if I can't compile some test classes and configure it that way. -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 10:35 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: log4j implementation question On Fri, 1 Jun 2007 11:23:54 -0400 "Propes, Barry L " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > also, Jake, > > my commons-logging.jar file (NOT my commons-logging-api.jar, but just >commons-logging.jar) is in the following dir. for me: > > $TOMCAT_HOME\server\lib > > should I throw in the log4j jar file in there as well? Both need to be, specifically, in common/lib and the Log4j config file has to be in common/classes. But, again, I don't recall how this works with Tomcat4 which is what I presume you are using based on your use of Tomcat's FileLogger.
