I was just able to get something similar to work just the other day. I first attempted to remove the log4j.properties file from the jar but was getting the same error message as you. I then left the jar intact and merely placed a log4j.properties file in the classpath and Axis took these settings not the one in the jar. It was important to restart the App Server however. I am using WebSphere 4 on a Windows 2k box. Hope this helps.

Hansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 7:19 PM To: AXIS Users (E-mail) Subject: another Axis logging question I'm trying to create/use a custom log4j.xml (same as log4j.properties, but XML format). As directed in the Axis documentation, I removed log4j.properties from axis.jar and have placed my custom log4j.xml in the classpath. But, now when I run the axis-admin Ant tasks (e.g., to deploy or undeploy a web service), I get a huge stack trace that starts with: [axis-admin] java.util.zip.ZipException error in opening zip file ... ... Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Mark
