Do you have multiple copies of log4j.jar in different classloaders?  For instance, let's say you run under Tomcat where webapps use child-first classloading.  You place log4j and slf4j in WEB-INF/lib and configure Log4j for this classloader.  But then you also have log4j/slf4j in a parent classloader which didn't get configured and the code performing logging is also part of the parent classloader, not the webapp classloader.  In this case, the "no appenders could be found" message makes sense.

I'm not saying the above is exactly your situation, but possibly some derivation of it.

I have a project where I am using slf4j with the log4j binder, and I am trying to configure log4j with the PropertyConfigurator.  The project allows for a common log4.properties file and a machine log4j.properties file, and at start up I load the two files, combine them into a Properties object, and then pass them to PropertyConfigurator.configure. But when I try to log using slf4j I get a "log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger" error on the class I am trying to log from.

In my app startup I have..

Properties props = //do work.......
LogManager.resetConfiguration();
PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);

but here is the output (with log4j.debug turned on)
log4j: Parsing for [root] with value=[INFO, stdout].
log4j: Level token is [INFO].
log4j: Category root set to INFO

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

Shouldn't the logger for com.loca.util.services.AppListener use the root appender that was configured?

Thanks!
