Re: tomcat and log4j

Thanks for responding. I'm just going by what it says in the log4j
manual:

"The default log4j initialization is particularly useful in web-server environments. Under Tomcat 3.x and 4.x, you should place the |log4j.properties| under the |WEB-INF/classes| directory of your web-applications. Log4j will find the properties file and initialize itself. This is easy to do and it works."

I am running jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24 on RH 9 using j2sdk1.4.1_02. I just did a jar tvf on my
war file, which shows:

This is what my log4j.properties file looks like:
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, roll

log4j.appender.roll=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.roll.File=xxx.log
log4j.appender.roll.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.roll.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.roll.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.roll.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %F:%L - %m%n

Everything compiles. I've used log4j in non-web apps. I have log statements
in my servlet, and I cannot find a log file anywhere. What's up with that???

Howdy,
It does work if you place logj4.properties in WEB-INF/classes and log4j.jar in
WEB-INF/lib.  If you could please be a bit more explicity when you say "This
does not seem to be working" perhaps I could help more.

I want to use log4j inside a tomcat application. According
to the log4j short manual, all I have to do is drop my
log4j.properties file into WEB-INF/classes and then I can
just use it. This does not seem to be working. Can someone
help?

Thanks.
