[Springframework-developer] Log4J configuration

[James C. <jim...@do...>]

I'm trying to get my web-tier to log to a file, and my configuration is
based on the JPetstore example. My web.xml file contains the following
entries:

<context-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties</param-value>
</context-param>

<listener>
 
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener</listener-c
lass>
</listener>

I am deploying to Tomcat 5.0.18, and I have added -Dlog4j.debug=true to the
Tomcat startup.

In the Tomcat5 console, I begin to see JDK 1.4 style logging statements
describing the Tomcat, Hibernate and Spring startup. About half-way through,
the listener is loaded and I see Spring's loading of my log4j.properties
file from the proper directory. Because I turned log4j debug on, I see the
successful parsing of the log4j properties file. Now I would expect any
future logging to be directed to my log4j appenders (both console and file),
however the JDK-style logging continues. In the end, the log4j debug file
was created, but has 0 bytes.

I am not deploying a war file to Tomcat (either packed or unpacked.) I am
simply pointing Tomcat at my directory structure.

Any ideas?
