Question

I wrote the java package which includes many java files.

The log files are created when working in eclipse but i converted it to jar file and place it in apache tomcat and include the log properties file in classes folder…

But log is not getting generated…suggest me where should i include the log properties file….

Answer 1

Reading from http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html:

The default log4j initialization is particularly useful in web-server
environments. Under Tomcat 3.x and 4.x, you should place the
log4j.properties under the WEB-INF/classes directory of your
web-applications. Log4j will find the properties file and initialize
itself. This is easy to do and it works.

Hope this helps!
