If someone tells you: "I filled the gas tank of my motorcycle but it doesn't run. Oh, by the way, it has no engine- how do I get it to run?"
What would you think, would you think MAYBE the person should read up on the basics first? Perhaps he didn't need to say it was a dumb question, but what would you think? Your other statements sound like "Well, I got my motorcycle with no engine to coast down the hill! And you people should really have instructions on running one without an engine!" If you want to run without an appender fine. You could even try to run log4j with no setup, or even no downloaded jars... don't expect it to work well though. ________________________________________ From: John El [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 1:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: AW: Newbie questions Thanks for your no help at all. There is no appender, and I've found the log by running grep over all the likely files, and by grepping that file name I've found where the log file is set. I've searched the documentation for this kind of set up and found nothing. I've found info on properties files and the most useful thing I've found about using an xml file for log4j configuration was a blog where the guy says that there doesn't seem to be a good source of info on this. My questions may have been dumb, but you weren't smart enough to provide an answer. I can't imagine why you bothered to reply to my post if you had nothing of value to add. Lots of spare time? A feeling of superiority when you call my question dumb? Can't be that because you don't seem superior enough to have an answer. One more dumb question for you. If you're so smart, where did I find the set up for the fatal log? And why? I know the answers now, but do you?
