| Hello,
|
| My application is using a jar file MyJar.jar that uses log4j (I have the
| latest release of log4j).
| I have put both MyJar.jar and log4j.jar in a directory in my classpath. I
| have also
| put the file "log4j.properti es" into this same directory.
|
| My log4j.propertie s file reads:
|
|
| # Default Logging Configuration
|
| log4j.rootLogge r=INFO, stdout
|
| #to increase logging level
|
| #log4j.logger.o rg.dcm4cheri=DE BUG
|
| #to decrease logging level
|
| #log4j.logger.o rg.dcm4cheri=ER ROR
|
| log4j.appender. stdout=org.apac he.log4j.Consol eAppender
|
| log4j.appender. stdout.layout=o rg.apache.log4j .PatternLayout
|
| log4j.appender. stdout.layout.C onversionPatter n=%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p %x - %m\n
|
|
|
|
|
| When I run the program, I get the following warning:
|
|
| log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
| (org.dcm4cheri. server.ServerIm pl).
| log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
|
|
| Any help would be greatly appreciated!

log4j.propertie s needs to be on the classpath where log4j can find it.

You may also specify the location of the properties by a system property :

java -Dlog4j.configur ation=file:///path/to/log4j.propertie s MyApplication

(is that system property necessary or only optional ?)

Thanks for your help, guys.

My error actually, the folder with the file was not actually in my
classpath.
