Hi Lenny, Well, unless you use the RepositorySelector technique (which I've only heard about and don't know how to implement) you will need to put log4j-1.2.5.jar in your WEB-INF/lib directory. You can put your log4j.properties in WEB-INF/classes and it should get used the first time a new logger is created.
Alternatively, you can set up a servlet to load on startup of your app and do initialization manually which can be more flexible. You can see an example of that by looking at Barracuda, a Servlet Presentation Framework which includes a library called "plankton.jar". It contains some generally useful utilities that can be used anywhere...even outside the context of Barracuda. One thing it has in particular is a Log4jInit servlet that is very comprehensive (I know because I wrote it). You can use that and then check out Barracuda's web.xml for an example of the configuration to initialize the servlet on startup. <plug>BTW, you might want to try out Barracuda. I am a committer to that project and can tell you that it is a very compelling framework and an alternative to JSP framworks like Struts and such<plug>. You can download Barracuda at: http://barracuda.enhydra.org/software/downloads/barracuda-1.1.0.zip Read about Barracuda here: http://barracuda.enhydra.org/cvs_source/Barracuda/index_details.html Jake At 09:45 PM 7/10/2002 -0500, you wrote: >Quick Question: > >Where exactly should the log4j-1.2.5.jar be located in order to get it to >work >within Tomcat 4.1.3? > >I can get log4j to work with log4j.properties while I run it as a separate >servlet >by starting it from a command line with java after I compile it the >servlet alone. > >I still can't get it to work with Tomcat 4.1.3 > >My JSP's currently run find and retrieve data.
