This is a log4j issue, not Wicket. However, if memory serves, you can set a system property before starting Tomcat. Something like:
-Dlog4j.configuration=name.and.location.of.your.log4j.properties.file A log4j forum is probably the best place to query the current "best practice" on this. From: JASON HOLT <j_holt5...@msn.com> To: <users@wicket.apache.org> Date: 03/28/2012 12:49 PM Subject: log4j.properties I'm new to Java, Tomcat, and Wicket. I apologize in advance for asking the obvious. Tomcat logs complain that log4j is not properly configured. I placed my log4j.properties file in the /WEB-INF/classes folder and errors stop. I would like ALL Wicket applications to share a single log4j.properties file so I don't have to remember to include it in every application I deploy. Can I configure Tomcat to accomplish this? If so, how? Using Tomcat 7.026, JDK 7u3, and Wicket 1.5.5 Thanks. ** This email and any attachments may contain information that is confidential and/or privileged for the sole use of the intended recipient.
