I am bit confused so, thought to ask experts.
I have written small java application. I have function which reads properties files which contains the path of the directory where to write the log and exceptions. Lets say I get exception while reading the properties file since logger wouldn’t have been initialized by that time, how can I know that there was an error or exception? If I have written e.printStackTrace() in catch block where it will be printed? I am running this application through windows scheduler.
Thanks for advice.

Forget about Log4j. That was useful when logging capabilites were not embbeded inside JRE itself. You can configure the logging properties by a means of a logging.properties file (which is provided at JVM start point). Inside the application you can log messages with different levels of severity with or without nested exceptions.
Here is a useful page with example of basic configuration and logging capabilites use.
