Hi Yan,
How log4j loads its config is documented at:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html
in the section:
"Default Initialization Procedure"
So unless your webapp looks at the init-param, log4j won't use that in
web.xml. It worked in WEB-INF/classes because that's in the class path
hierarchy for log4j to look at when it auto-configs itself.
Regards,
Daniel
