Wayne interessierts, so I did not overlook something. The simple fact is that there is no good official manual and no good unofficial free manual. It seems that log4j can afford that, since not many people jump to other logging frameworks.

The for-a-fee manual , or the "Pro Apache Log4j " 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"; 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 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.
