Subject: log4j exception

Hello,

I'm trying to use the log4j 1.1.3 SMTPAppender, but my program crashes with an uncaught
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError exception in PropertConfigurator.configureRootCategory(Properties, Hierarchy). If I use the console appender, everything goes allright.

The exception is thrown before any of my own code is executed.
 
Visual Age for Java says the uncaught exception is thrown in configureRootCategory() in the sync block:

synchronized(root) {
        parseCategory(props, root, ROOT_CATEGORY_PREFIX, INTERNAL_ROOT_NAME,
                      value);
          }

My configuration file for log4j:

log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, mail
 
log4j.appender.mail=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
log4j.appender.mail.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.mail.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss}\t%-4r\t%-5p\t%37c{2}\t%30M\t%3x - %m%n
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
log4j.appender.mail.SMTPHost=*******
log4j.appender.mail.Subject=JCs XmlTemplate log4j notice
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
log4j.appender.mail.BufferSize=5
log4j.appender.mail.EvaluatorClass=TriggerAfterXLogEvents

(I changed the SMTPHost into *******)
I installed all necessary packages (javax.mail, jaf, ...) and my classpath is ok.

Any idea why this happens?

Thanks
