Yeah, I think you are right, it's not read at all. But how?
In my case(since I am using Struts), I thought the action servlet initializes
the log4j system automatically. And it reads the <init-param> in the webapp's
web.xml to find the property file. Am I totally off? Why would you call it
'init-param' if it's not used for initialization.
Now I don't get any thing except the console output when I run the following
test code(I got the following test code from the log4j tutorial), not even
warnings. Darn, I cannot believe I am stuck on such a simple matter!
--------------
import java.util.Date;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;
public class Log4JTest
{
// Define a static logger variable so that it references the
// Logger instance named "Log4JTest".
static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Log4JTest.class);
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Set up a simple configuration that logs on the console.
BasicConfigurator.configure();
logger.info("Entering application.");
System.out.println("program executing");
logger.info("Exiting application.");
logger.warn("Entering application that has deprecated methods");
System.out.println(new Date(1991, 1, 2));
logger.warn("Exiting application that has deprecated methods");
logger.debug("Debugging a program");
System.out.println("have bugs");
logger.debug("Finishing debugging");
//BasicConfigurator.resetConfiguration();
//logger.debug("debugging");
}

Your init-param might not have been read (I don't know what servlet
you're using to initialize log4j), and the log4j default process looks
in WEB-INF/classes but not WEB-INF.
