Hi everyone! I'm having a problem using external configuration files. I'm
pretty new to log4j. I can create and use loggers with the
BasicConfigurator, but when I try to use my own properties file, it doesn't
work. Here's what's going on:
It's very simple, I'm using a .properties file rather than XML. I saved it
as "log4j.properties"
# Log4j configuration file.
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1
# A1 is a ConsoleAppender
#
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p [%t] - %m%n
#
#set level
#
log4j.logger.com=ERROR
I'm using NetBeans IDE 3.5.1 and I put the "log4j.properties" file in the
same directory as my java class that has main (the 'demo' package - see
below).
public static void main(String args[]) {
PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j.properties");
logger = Logger.getLogger(com.corp.ors.demo.OrsDemo.class);
logger.info("OrsDemoLogger working");
I keep getting this error, and I don't know what to do:
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [log4j.properties].
java.io.FileNotFoundException: log4j.properties (The system cannot find the
file specified)

log4j:ERROR Ignoring configuration file [log4j.properties].
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
(com.corp.ors.demo.OrsDemo).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Is my configuration file wrong? Does it need to be in a different place? Any
help or references would be appreciated. Thanks!
