See the "Default Initialization Procedure" section at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html
I have looked at this, but am now more confused than previously. (Part of the problem is that I tried to use parts for that page which obviously resulted in disaster. I was looking around and found the following: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/logging-log4j-user/200207.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] and would like to clarify the steps that I should be following (thanks for your patience with me on this one). 1) add log4j.jar to WEB-INF/lib/ -- COMPLETE 2) create a log4jConfiguration.xml file and place it in /WEB-INF/src/java/ ------COMPLETE When compiled the file is appearing under /WEB-INF/classes The following is the xml file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";> <appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"> <param name="Target" value="System.out"/> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p %c{1} - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> <root> <priority value ="debug" /> <appender-ref ref="console" /> </root> </log4j:configuration> At this point I am wondering if I should be doing something similar to what is mentioned in the e-mail archive that I borrowed. Again if you can advise me I would really appreciate it. thanks again for your time and effort.
