If you are using ClassLoader.getResource() to load resources from inside
the class path (which I imagine that Log4J is doing), there is a very
definite difference between putting the properties file in
"/WEB-INF/classes" and "/WEB-INF/classes/resources" -- one will be found
and one will not.
The reason for this is that resource file names have a path structure just
like Java class names in a package -- to retrieve the resource file
"/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties", one would say:
ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream("log4j.properties");
but, if you want "/WEB-INF/classes/resources/log4j.properties", you would
say this instead:
ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream("resources/log4j.properties");
The right place to put your properties files, then, is wherever the
software that is loading them will look for them :-).
