Yep. I think there's another log4j.properties somewhere. Coming to think about it, maybe there are several, with all those pesky, verbose libraries we get advantage of.
You running Unix? Try the suggested commands. The Windows equivalent would be to expand all the .jar files (easily done using multiple-selection and WinRAR), then run a Search on the resulting folder tree. Go ahead Shinkan, by now I really want to know if there's another log4j.properties file somewhere in those jars.

I did as David Beukes said. I put a commons-logging.properties file on my classpath, and deported log4j conf on log4j.properties. I know have log working ... but not really. I get DEBUG entries on the log, then suddenly, the same error as before on System.err, but with different class target : "log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationUtils). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly." I don't even understand why it is talking about "org.apache.commons" AS I SPECIFICALLY TOLD that I wanted to log org.apache.torque only ... do you think this is about another log4j file somewhere in my classpath ? (I run tests on Windows now, so I can't script a find :p). Here is the commons-logging.properties: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger Here is the log4j.properties: log4j.category.org.apache.torque = ALL, org.apache.torque log4j.appender.org.apache.torque = org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.file = log/data.log log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.layout.conversionPattern = %d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.maxBackupIndex = 5 log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.maxFileSize = 1MB log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.append = true By the way, these 2 files are in my project root /conf directory, which is explicitely added on classpath.
