Thanks for the help folks this did the trick. I had log4j.jar in my TomCat path. But another question, If I have many web apps, and they all want to use log4j I have to include the log4j.jar file in each of these packages. Isnt this a waste of space, and an upgrade problem in the case when a new log4j.jar library becomes available - I have to repackage each to the web apps again with the new log4j.jar file. Is there any way around this? Cheers Tony --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Right. I had this problem last night.
