By default, log4j attempts to obtain its configuration file from the current classloader using the getResource() call. The classloader for a web-app retrives classes from the WEB-INF/classes folder; placing the log4j.properties file here is the recommended configuration procedure under tomcat according to the log4j short manual.
You can instruct log4j to retrieve its configuration from another location by using the log4j.configuration system property (see http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html for more details), but I wouldn't recommend it. You're probably better off leaving log4j.properties in WEB-INF/classes. Sean Reilly Programmer, Point2 Technologies, Inc.

For some reason, I can only place the log4j.properties file in the same directory as the jar file. Is this proper behavior? I would like to keep the log4j.properties file in WEB-INF/.
