I still bet that somewhere, in some jar or other location on your classpath, there is a log4j.properties or log4j.xml that is getting picked up before you are performing manual configuration. To test this, change your config file to log4j.xml and put it in a directory that is the first thing in the classpath. I bet the other file doesn't get created anymore.
