I see. So i shouldn't be worried about those just yet...

Check. Both files are in the lib directory.

Right now my lib directory contains:
	quickfixj.jar
	backport-util-concurrent-2.1.jar
	mina-core-1.0.1-sources.jar
	mina-core-1.0.1.jar
	slf4j-api-1.3.0.jar
	log4j-1-2.4.jar
	slf4j-log4j12-1.3.0.jar

Check. Here's the code :
...
   settings = new SessionSettings(new
	FileInputStream(QUICKFIX_CONFIG_FILENAME));
   storeFactory = new FileStoreFactory(settings);
   messageFactory = new DefaultMessageFactory();
   logFactory = new SLF4JLogFactory(settings);

   //logFactory = new FileLogFactory(settings);
   //logFactory = new ScreenLogFactory(settings);

   initiator = new SocketInitiator ( this, storeFactory,
	settings, logFactory, messageFactory);
...

quickfix/j config file is like this :
...
SLF4JLogEventCategory=${senderCompID}.${targetCompID}.events
SLF4JLogIncomingMessageCategory=${senderCompID}.${targetCompID}.incoming
SLF4JLogOutgoingMessageCategory=${senderCompID}.${targetCompID}.outgoing
SLF4JLogPrependSessionID=Y
...

I even cleaned out all the references to FileLogXXXXX and ScreenLogXXXX 
entries. Still no avail. Just to make sure i'm not barking up the wrong 
tree, where *should* one put the slf4j.properties file ?

At this state, i don't even know how to test whether it's working 
properly, other than "it doesn't create the log file". Any 
pointers/hints will be very much appreciated...

Thank you,
