Hi, Thanks for the response to my problem of the object is not assignable message. I still have the problem though. From reviewing what Ceki said I have looked at my classpath for my given application simple application.
C:\dev\JDK\jdk1.3.1_04\\bin\javaw -classpath W:\platform\1.0\PDR001\platform\deploy\lib\platform.jar;W:\thirdParty\xerces\xerces1.1.2_bld1\xerces\deploy\lib\xerces.jar;W:\thirdParty\junit\junit3.7_bld1\junit\deploy\lib\junit.jar;C:\TogetherSoft\Together6.0\lib\junit\junit.jar;W:\thirdParty\log4j\log4j1.2.4_bld1\log4j\deploy\lib\log4j.jar test.com.foo.platform.services.log.TestLogSuite log4j:ERROR A "org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender" object is not assignable to a "org.apache.log4j.Appender" variable. log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate appender named "A2". log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (TestLogger). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. The only mention of log4j on this classpath is the one I explicitly entered... if I remove the log4j.jar from the classpath, then things will fail to run as Category, etc are not found. I have also checked all of the other jars in the chance that they included the log4j classes... no other classes were found. Now, I am using the TogetherSoft IDE for startng my tests, but that should cause no problem. Is their any way to look at my system classloader? Thanks -Reg
