Earlier today I was having trouble getting 
PropertyConfigurator.configure() to work correcting under WebSphere 
running on an IBM OS/390. On WinNT the property file was read correctly 
resulting in an appender getting installed correctly into the root 
Category. In the mainframe environment, configure silently failed to 
install the specified appender causing logging to fail. Log4j output to 
stdout that no appenders were installed.

 It tured out that the problem was due to the properties files being in 
ASCII format instead of EBCDIC. When I modified the properties files to 
be in EBCDIC format, configure behaved properly. 

Shouldn't configure have thrown an exception instead of silently 
failing?

Thanks

Chuck
