you can put the two log jar files in your web app web-inf/lib directory and the log4j properties in your web app classes directory. make sure your web app log4j properties file specifies its own log file and log file location. Its useful and may be good practice to place all log files in the tomcat log directory, each web app with its own log file in that directory. i do not yet understand the need for the other properties file. But it may be needed. I have a configuration without it, with cross context logging and specific web app logging. hope this helps

Instead I keep them in my webapp lib. The result is lots of error message in tomcat log dir. If I put a log4j.properties in web-inf/classes and still keep the 2 jars in my webapp lib only, is the log.debug() prints message in tomcat log dir? thanks On 11/3/05, andy gordon wrote: > > Placing the jars in the common/lib directory makes them available for all > web apps and catalina itself.
