I'm having a problem getting geronimo 2.1.1 to use my log4j.properties. It
works fine with geronimo 2.1.4 but our production server is still at 2.1.1.
My webapp deploys fine but when starting I get this error:
19100: 2010-05-07 10:06:47,882 ERROR [runtime.GBeanInstanceState] - Error
while starting; GBean is now in the FAILED state:

In my geronimo-web.xml I have
<dep:gbean name="DirectoryLog4jConfiguration"
class="org.apache.geronimo.system.logging.log4j.ApplicationLog4jConfigurationGBean">
<dep:attribute
name="log4jResource">META-INF/log4j.properties</dep:attribute>
</dep:gbean>
And my log4j.properties file is in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/
This exception isn't very helpful and the fact that it works with 2.1.4 makes
me think that its a bug in geronimo 2.1.1.
Any ideas on how to make it work without upgrading?
Thanks,
Marshall
