Jake,
Putting the properties file under /web-inf/config is what I really
wanted to achieve, but I am not be able to make it work. I uses the
following to initialised the log4j package.
package com.log;
import org.apache.log4j.*;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class Log4jInit extends HttpServlet {
public void init() {
String servletContainer = getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
// The exact path to the config file is in servlet mapping
String file = getInitParameter("log4j");
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(getClass());
// if the log4j-init is not set, then no point in trying
if (file != null) {
BasicConfigurator.configure();
BasicConfigurator.resetConfiguration();
PropertyConfigurator.configure(servletContainer+file);
// Sent into to system.log
logger.info("Logging system initialised successfully");
}
}
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
{
}
}
I uses the following for my database properties which I have no luck in
getting it to read /web-inf/config too:
Properties Prop = new Properties();
try {
InputStream configStream =
getClass().getResourceAsStream("/config/database.properties");
Prop.load(configStream);
configStream.close();
} catch(IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error: Cannot laod configuration file ");
}
Do you have a sample code that works? Thank you.

If you are going to create a "config" dir, why not do it directly under
WEB-INF rather than where classes are put? You can load up an input
stream
using context.getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/config/log4j.properties")
and
feed that info a Properties object, then send that into
PropertyConfigurator.configure(Properties) or load up a URL using
context.getResource("WEB-INF/config/log4j.properties") and send that
info
PropertyConfigurator.configure(URL).
Of course you can still do this even if you leave the "config"
directory
under "WEB-INF/classes" and use the same technique above. Whatever you
feel comfortable with. I just like not cluttering my classpath with
non-classes.
