You are using slf4j-simple, not log4j as your logging system - it doesn't take any config, it just prints all logs of info or above to the command line.
If you want to use log4j as your logging system, take log4j-over-slf4j-1.6.1.jar and slf4j-simple-1.6.1.jar off your classpath and instead add slf4j-logj12.jar. Now SLF4J will direct all your logging to log4j so your log4j.properties should work. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Adam Parkin" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, 1 March, 2011 8:35:07 PM > Subject: [slf4j-user] Log4j.properties? > I'm finding the documentation on how to specify a log4j.properties > file > a bit weak. > > As it stands I have a standalone Java application which is using SLF4J > overtop the Log4j library (I have log4j-over-slf4j-1.6.1.jar, > slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar, slf4j-simple-1.6.1.jar files on the classpath). > > I want to be able to modify it so that DEBUG messages appear on the > console, normally this is done by creating a log4j.properties file if > using log4j.
