This works:

1. Have a copy of log4j-1.2.8.jar in your WEB-INF/lib
2. Place your log4j.properties or log4j.xml in your WEB-INF/classes

I have found that you *need* a copy of the log4j.jar in your local
webapp classloader in order to isolate your logging configuration for
your particular webapp.

Thanks but I think it does find the log4j.properties coz it is printing
the
debug info right (according to the file in
WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties).

Wouldn't placing jar files or properties file in App Server dirs tie up
my
app to the server. I would love to have my app as a freely
distributable/deployable.

Maybe I need to get rid of property files altogether and do
configuration
programmatically. But the problem is the Log4J implementation is hiding
behind commons-logging API and common-logging does not have any
configuration mechanism. Anyone tried programmatic configuration of
log4j
under commons-logging (via a web interface etc)?

Thanks,
Affan
