yeah, I'm using ant but I dont like the fact that it is hard-coded.
I think I'll use the properties file option, we have a properties file already I'll
just add the log4j properties to that. I don't suppose you know how to load the
properites file when it is in a JAR? because it says in the log4j FAQ "the log4j
classes and the properties file are not within the scope of the same
classloader.....So, if you're having problems, try loading the class or resource
yourself. "
what i've done already is:
Properties p = new Properties();
FileInputStream fis;
try
{
fis = new FileInputStream("com.foo.bar.message.properties");
p.load(fis);
}
catch (Throwable t)
{
t.printStackTrace();
}
PropertyConfigurator.configure(p);
but its not picking up our file in the JAR

No. It would be against the spirit, if not the letter, or the servlet
specification for a servlet to be able to find out such details about
its container. Even the approaches I showed before weren't that
portable. This is like those perennial "how can I find out what port
the server is running on in my servlet's init() method?" (You can't with
certainty/portability).
Other options include adding a JNDI entry for your log file path into
tomcat's server.xml and then doing a JNDI lookup in your servlet's init
method, or mangling your log4j configuration together with tomcat's
commons-logging configuration. The latter is just cruising for a
bruising, and the former is too container-specific (requires modifying
server.xml) for my preferences, so I didn't include them before.
Typically the Ant option is the one I like best, but I guess you don't
use Any to deploy/package your application?
