So how does this configuration work, does the java code override the configuration on properties file? 2. What does BasicConfigurator do? 3. In propertes file, log4j.appender.LOGFILE.File=axis.log, but I cannot find this axis.log anywhere after running the servlet. In the java servlet, I have the line "appender = new FileAppender(layout,"connectionlog.txt",true);", but I cannot find the connectionlog.txt file anywhere. Thanks.
