Thank you James for the help. Yes it declares a root logger The following are the contents log4j.rootLogger=INFO, FILE
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.FILE.File=../../logs/PNMServer.log log4j.appender.FILE.MaxFileSize=25MB log4j.appender.FILE.MaxBackupIndex=2 log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.FILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c{2} - %m%n This file is present in WEB-INF /classes directory. The exceptions were raised because active mq was not able to instantiate a logger. How can I make Active MQ use the above log4j.properties file ??

If you run it stand alone via the activemq script, it has its own log4j.properties. -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
