Where should I put the log4j.properties file?
glassfish, java, log4j, netbeans
Solution
I know it's a bit late to answer this question, and maybe you already found the solution, but I'm posting the solution I found (after I googled a lot) so it may help a little:
- Put log4j.properties under WEB-INF\classes of the project as mentioned previously in this thread.
- Put log4j-xx.jar under WEB-INF\lib
- Test if log4j was loaded: add `-Dlog4j.debug` @ the end of your java options of tomcat
Hope this will help.

Problem
I wrote a web service project using netbeans 6.7.1 with glassfish v2.1, put log4j.properties to the root dir of project and use: ``` static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class); ``` in Constructor: ``` PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j.properties"); ``` and in functions: ``` logger.info("..."); logger.error("..."); // ... ``` but, it is error info(actually, I have tried to put it almost every dir that I could realize): ``` log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [log4j.properties]. java.io.FileNotFoundException: log4j.properties (The system cannot find the file specified) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:106) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:66) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.doConfigure(PropertyConfigurator.java:297) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.configure(PropertyConfigurator.java:315) at com.corp.ors.demo.OrsDemo.main(OrisDemo.java:228) log4j:ERROR Ignoring configuration file [log4j.properties]. log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.corp.ors.demo.OrsDemo). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. ``` the example project could be get from http://www.91files.com/?N3F0QGQPWMDGPBRN0QA8
