Hi,
Am new to log4j. Am using Tomcat 5 and my webapp-myNiceWebApp is in
Tomcat/webapps/myNiceWebApp
I have a class that I have the following code in:
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Helper.class);
SimpleLayout layout = new SimpleLayout();
Log4j looks on your class path for a properties file
log4j.properties. If you put the file in WEB-INF/classes
it will find it.
Here's a real simple example:
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, dest1
log4j.appender.dest1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
I just did that. I have a log4j.properties file with the following:
# initialise root logger with level DEBUG and call it A1
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, A1
# set the appender to be FileAppender
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
# set set that layout to be SimpleLayout
I just did that. I have a WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties file with
the following:
# initialise root logger with level DEBUG and call it A1
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, A1
# set the appender to be FileAppender
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
# set set that layout to be SimpleLayout
Try pulling out the:
PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4j.properties)
line.
You shouldn't need it.
Just let log4j find it in your classes directory.

Ah, sorry. I didn't look closely enough at your code.
The first example on this page shows how to read a properties file
using getResourceAsStream(). Use that to get the properties file for the
Configurator.
