In the main class of my application I tell log4j to use a specific log4j.properties file PropertyConfigurator.configure("a11yMonitor-log4j.properties"); Where do I actually place the a11yMonitor-log4j.properties file? I tried in jdk_home\jre\lib and jdk_home\jre\lib\ext but both times I tried to run my extension, I get a message saying that log4j cannot find the properties file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Sincerely, HYPERLINK "http://www.oracle.com" \nOracle Donald Raikes | Accessibility Specialist Phone: HYPERLINK "tel:+16028246213"+16028246213 | Mobile: HYPERLINK "tel:+15202717608"+15202717608 | VOIP: HYPERLINK "tel:+16028246213"+16028246213 Oracle JDeveloper Quality Assurance | Tucson, Arizona HYPERLINK "http://www.oracle.com/commitment" \nGreen Oracle Oracle is committed to developing practices and products that help protect the environment --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-user-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-user-h...@logging.apache.org
