NPE in log4j while reloading webapp
When I try to reload an application in Tomcat, I get the following error:
log4j:ERROR Error occured while converting date.

This stacktrace is from a specific webapp (Lambda Probe), but I get
similar errors with any webapp I try to reload via Tomcat Manager.
What can I do to fix this problem? I asked in the log4j list, and got
the following answer from Curt Arnold:

The webapp has log4j.properties in WEB-INF/classes and log4j-1.2.13.jar
in WEB-INF/lib
I'm running Tomcat 5.5.15 on Linux with JRockit 1.5.0_06-b05, but I see
the same behaviour on Windows and/or with the Sun VM, so I dont't think
it'a VM-related problem.
Thanks in advance,

Adding log4j JAR to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib just changed the error to
IllegalStateException:
INFO: Illegal access: this web application instance has been stopped
already. Could not load org.apache.log4j.spi.VectorWriter. The eventu

purposes as well as to attempt to terminate the thread which caused the

Posted by Andrew Stepanenko <an...@gmail.com>.
hello,
this issue has already been discussed before. Pls, search the archives.
AFAIK, you need to put log4j JAR to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib dir in
addition to your WEB-INF/lib.
Regards.
