I have a java main application, and I want to use log4j.
I don’t want to hard code my settings, so where do I put the log4j config file so my application can find it?

A) in your classpath put a file named log4j.properties
B) Add this to your JVM command line
-Dlog4j.configuration=foobar.txt(The configuration file will be foobar.txt)The exact rules for this are defined in the Log4j documentation in http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html
