log4j.properties

[JASON HOLT <j_...@msn.com>]

I'm new to Java, Tomcat, and Wicket. I apologize in advance for asking the obvious.
 
Tomcat logs complain that log4j is not properly configured. I placed my log4j.properties file in the /WEB-INF/classes folder and errors stop.
 
I would like ALL Wicket applications to share a single log4j.properties file so I don't have to remember to include it in every application I deploy. Can I configure Tomcat to accomplish this? If so, how?
 
Using Tomcat 7.026, JDK 7u3, and Wicket 1.5.5
 
Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I included the properties file in a separate jar.

That's the default for Tomcat 6+, but formally the location for shared classpath entries is defined in the property common.loader in $tomcat/conf/catalina.properties. So e.g. to "re-establish" the older structure with common/classes etc. you would edit this entry accordingly.

This is the correct way to do it.
Additionally you can put log4j.properties in its own jar and put it in
$tomcat/lib.

But since you just begin you better check Logback project -

This is a log4j issue, not Wicket. However, if memory serves, you can set 
a system property before starting Tomcat. Something like:

-Dlog4j.configuration=name.and.location.of.your.log4j.properties.file

A log4j forum is probably the best place to query the current "best 
practice" on this.
