Could you not place the configuration file in the root of the /WEB-INF/classes/ ? Log4j will automatically find "log4j.xml" or "log4j.properties" if it is located there.
Alternatively you could use the Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader(), this should work well inside a Webapp. cheers, Paul Smith On Mon, 2003-09-08 at 12:23, Bhamidi Krishna wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to configure log4j for an app. Currently, I have deployed > it on Tomcat.
