Hi Sriram,
Do you have log4j.jar in WEB-INF/lib? If not, I'd expect default initialization not to work. Remember that the webapp class loader can see parent class loaders, but the parents cannot see the webapp class loader, hence your log4j.properties will definitely not be found. If you are trying to use log4j.jar in a parent class loader and want your own configuration file to be used in your own logging space, then you will need to use a repository selector. See the log4j-sandbox for working examples. I wrote something up about this stuff here...

I placed it in WEB-INF/classes.
Still it's not being read.
I am JBoss and JBoss contains log4j.jar by default and it has log4j.xml in default/conf folder.
Probably even my application is taking log4j.xml from that location by default. I need to check that. Anyone who has implemented log4j for their applications on JBoss, pl. suggest.

Is the properties file being read at all?
