Hans,
I agree with you to a limited extent. The for-a-fee manual
<http://www.qos.ch/shop/products/eclm/>, or the "Pro Apache Log4j
<http://www.amazon.com/Apache-Log4j-Second-Samudra-Gupta/dp/1590594991/ref=sr_1_1/002-6557759-2563217?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185380594&sr=1-1>"
book, have indexes; but none of them are really well-organized (like the
"Ant in Action" book or the online Ant manual you mention). However,
I've found that the links on the
"http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/documentation.html";
<http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/documentation.html%22> page are
about as thorough as the books or PDF that you have to pay for and some
are at least as good for a step-by-step tutorial format. The "Don't Use
System.out.println! Use Log4j
<http://www.vipan.com/htdocs/log4jhelp.html> by Vipan Singla" is
terse/succinct, but contains a pretty thorough set of examples The book
is probably best reference for configuring Log4j integrated with a Web
application (I'm not using it that way; but I say that only because
there is quite a bit of information in the book on the topic). The book
also has more information on writing your own custom modules. After
purchasing both the downloadable manual and the book, I still find
myself going to the links on the above web page and finding them pretty
satisfactory, if not well-organized and indexed.
Regards,
Wayne

Why is there no good log4j manual?
I can't find it anywhere. If I missed it, please tell me where it is.
The turk who programmed log4j has written a manual, but it is not free. I am
looking for a free manual.
If you don't know what I mean, I mean something like the Ant manual, where
everything is documented.
Thanks.
