I’d like to configure log4j in a huge distributed system. There are a lot of JVMs and processes and (as I am only a student) I am new to such a situation. I use JMS Appender, so I need two files: log4j.properties, jndi.properties.

I’ve tried some ways:

  1. Put these files into src folder
  2. or into src/java
  3. add jvm argument -Dlog4j.configuration=C:\...\log4j.properties

I don’t want to set it in code using PropertyConfigurator.configure("path"), because I’d like to not change source code at all.

Are there any other ways to configure log4j? Or maybe I am missing something? I still get a messages

No appenders could be found for logger (some.package.SomeClass). 
Please initialize the log4j system properly.

    basically you have the following ways to configure Log4J:

    1. Via your code
    2. properties file (as you’re trying to use)
    3. Xml File

    What you’re asking to me related to specific configuration of JMS appender and its not about ‘general way of how to configure log4j’

    Here is an example of how to configure it with ActiveMQ
    For other JMS implementations in your property file the keys will be probably the same but the values will be different

    Example – using JMS appender with ActiveMQ
