I signed up this week with an ISP that uses Tomcat. My old ISP used Resin and my Log4j code worked perfect. Now with Tomcat it fails.

I have confirmed that the properties file exists, but it must not be getting read properly because I never get any OUTPUT written to the log file.

I have tried all sorts or combinations of the path and the log4j.log output file never gets written anywhere.

I am using log4j-1.2.7.jar

Is there anything special that I have to use for Tomcat?

Do you think the properties file is not being parsed properly?

Does the log4j.appender.A1.file=... require any specific format other than what I am using?

Does the output log file have to be created in the /log directory or will Log4j create it? I have tried it both ways and it never gets written or created.

Below is the doPost() from the Servlet that I am using to test

THANKS for any help you can give me!!!

			

			import org.apache.log4j.*;
			

			

			public class test_log4j extends HttpServlet
			

			{
			

			static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(test_log4j.class.getName());
			

			

			public void init(ServletConfig cfg) throws ServletException
			

			{
			

			super.init(cfg);
			

			}
			

			

			public void destroy()
			

			{
			

			super.destroy();
			

			}
			

			

			public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
			

			{
			

			PropertyConfigurator.configure("/home/southwind/public_html/WEB-INF/dat/log4j.dat");
			

			

			logger.debug(" Test Debug ");
			

			logger.warn("  Test Warn ");
			

			logger.fatal(" Test Fatal");
			

			}
			

			}
			

		

This is my Properties file

			

			log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, A1
			

			log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
			

			

			log4j.appender.A1.file=/home/southwind/public_html/WEB-INF/log/log4j.log
			

			

			log4j.appender.A1.append=true
			

			

			log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
			

			

			log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%n%-5p %d{ISO8601} - %F(%L) - [%m]
