1. If possible run with -Dlo4j.debug in the command that starts Java.
That will cause log4j to print into to std out about how it is
configured.
2. By "go about using the logger" I assume, you mean creating logs.
In every class where you want logging, add "Logger logger =
Logger.getLogger(getClass());" The name calls to logger.debug,
logger.info, etc.
Example:
logger.debug("About to do something");
try {
logger.info("Tada!";
...
} catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
logger.error("Unable to ...", e);
}

I'm using this but I have 2 questions (yet again).
1) How do I know if the class is being picked up properly, as I don't see
any errors in the logs files
2) How do I go about using the logger within the application - that is how
do I get a handle to it ?
again thanks for all the help.
