Log4j looks on your class path for a properties file
log4j.properties. If you put the file in WEB-INF/classes
it will find it.
Here's a real simple example:
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, dest1
log4j.appender.dest1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
I just did that. I have a log4j.properties file with the following:
# initialise root logger with level DEBUG and call it A1
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, A1
# set the appender to be FileAppender
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
# set set that layout to be SimpleLayout
I just did that. I have a WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties file with
the following:
# initialise root logger with level DEBUG and call it A1
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, A1
# set the appender to be FileAppender
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
# set set that layout to be SimpleLayout
Try pulling out the:
PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4j.properties)
line.
You shouldn't need it.
Just let log4j find it in your classes directory.

Ah, sorry. I didn't look closely enough at your code.

Hi,
Hmm, it's possible that now that we've moved Tomcat's bootstrapping code
to also use commons-logging, the impl lib is needed on the bootstrap
classpath. I'll amend the FAQ entry to also link to this thread and
give some though to updating the documentation-proper (as opposed to the
FAQ) on
Yoav,
Thanks for that update. With that explination I now have two
questions, one of which is slightly off-topic:
1. The author of the message pointed to in the FAQ (can't get to the
message archive at this moment for their name) says they used a stock
5.0.19 install on Windows and got it to
a separate section on logging with some
additional/updated info.

In case it helps, this is what I do with Tomcat 5.0.28 (Win 2000 without

commons-logging.properties in WEB-INF/classes of my app.

Thanks for that, but that's not exactly what I am asking for. I know

instructions, it doesn't work
Howdy,
It's pretty much all covered in the log4j documentation. It's covered
in depth in the full log4j book which you can purchase.
Don't confuse the Logger tags in tomcat's server.xml with log4j
Loggers. They're not the same.
Here's a way to get started:
- Go through the log4j introduction
I really liked this page:
http://www.vipan.com/htdocs/log4jhelp.html
It helped me get started with log4j. One warning though, it is out of

the other stuff is still pretty relevant.

I think Yoav's answer is very practical, and in spite of the fact that
it would require a code change if you change loggers down the road, it
is only a few lines in one place. You should think about it, because it

spent.
