Ok. I've included the log4j.jar in my WEB-INF/lib directory and created a log4j.xml file based on an example I found online (rather then a log4j.properties file). The application deploys error free and executes - however my log files are not created.
I can think of two reasons this could be happening: 1) Log4j is not creating the "log" directory, thus it can't create the log file; or 2) I'm missing the piece to connect my application to log4j. In my code, I create a variable using the following statement: "protected static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(ControllerServlet.class);" Now is that enough for commons-logging and log4j to create the log file they need, or am I missing another piece somewhere? Below is the log4j.xml properties file. I'm using a relative path to specify a directory for the log files (i.e. "log/uwaf-event.log"). Given that I'm using Tomcat 5.5 as my app server - where will it try to create my log files? In my webapps/<myapp> folder, or in the <Catalina_home>/bin directory?
