You need something like this. log4j.rootCategory=ERROR, R I don't know the log4j.rootLogger is a valid property. The "ERROR" tells it what level to log and R tells it what appender to use.
Hope that helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pete Serafin Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 5:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Log4j Error I am having an issue with a log utility I have written wrapping some log4j classes. Ive read through the samples and other threads, but cant find a resolution ( which should be simple ). My utility class sets up a category initializes to root and executes a static method upon creation as follows: public class log{ ... static{ PropertyConfigurator.configure( "d:\\App\\WEB- INF\\log4j.properties" ); } } I have placed my config file (log4j.properties) in the d:\App\WEB-INF\ directory. It is a basic config that looks as follows: log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, R #Create a rolling file log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=example.log # Keep 100 backup files of size 100kb log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=100KB log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=100 log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n The file seems to be read in properly, but I get the error: log4j:ERROR No appenders could be found for category (root). log4j:ERROR Please initialize the log4j system properly. What am I missing? Thanks, Pete Serafin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
