This is what I have defined at the beginning (could be causing the problem?)
private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Initializer.class);
The log factory is the org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.
This is what I have in a servlet that gets preloaded...
String log4jFile = _config.getInitParameter("LOG4J_FILE");
if (log4jFile == null) throw new ServletException("Parameter LOG4J cannot
be null");
DOMConfigurator.configureAndWatch(log4jFile);
log.info("Log configured");
You would think that would do it but the log.info line gets sent to Tomcat's
console screen and not to the file that I have defined...
I do not have the log4j file in my war because I want to be able to
dynamically change the log msg levels without having to re-deploy...
I also had trouble with Tomcat not finding the log4j.dtd in the log4j
jar.... I had to extract it from the jar and put it somewhere...
