Well, I actually got the properties file loading properly!
When I set undeployWars="false" in server.xml, I can still see my log
messages inside my Tomcat console!
Here's my corrected file (Log4jInitServlet):
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;
public class Log4jInitServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void init() throws ServletException {
Properties props = new Properties();
// String file = getServletContext().getInitParameter("log4j-init");
// File propFile = new File(file);
// if (!propFile.exists()) {
// System.out.println("log4j.properties file not found" +
propFile.getAbsolutePath());
// }
try {
props.load(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/log4j.properties"));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//
PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch(propFile.getAbsolutePath(),10000);
}
}
Now, my problem is that I can't use the PropertyConfigurator because I
placed log4j.properties in WEB-INF/classes and then just placed it
into my CLASSPATH using getResourceAsStream(). If you look at my code
whihc contains the invocation to PropertyConfigurator, I need a File
type to place as the first parameter inside the configureAndWatch()
method.
Is there a way to convert this stream as File?
Happy holidays!

Most of that was irrelevant :-) but the above doesn't mesh with your
earlier path:
C:\DevTools\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\mywebapp\WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties.
:: which doesn't include a 'webapps' directory.
Is that just a typo or are you setting Context atttributes (like docBase)
somewhere else?
