need helping configuring log4j micro edition for Tomcat 4....

[Ta...@aol.com]

hello all, 

i'm new to log4j (i'm using log4j micro edition) and i've waded through the log4j manual, the FAQ, the troubleshooting page, and the archives for this list.  unfortunately, i still can't get log4j working properly. doh!  i've tried using the default initialization, ie putting the log4j.properties file in the WEB-INF/classes directory of my webapp, but to no avail.  i saw in one post that stated it was necessary to set the TOMCAT_OPTS, is that really true?  how do i set a different configuration file for each web application then?

this is the log code i put in my DbUser class:

package com.coolservlets.forum.database;
.. 
import org.apache.log4j.Category; 

public class DbUser implements User, Cacheable {
..
    // logging variable
    static Category log = 
Category.getInstance(DbUser.class.getName());

    private void loadFromDb() throws UserNotFoundException {
        ...
        log.fatal("loadFromDb(): uid=" + uid);
        log.debug("loadFromDb(): numericId=" + numericId);
        ...
     }


  here is my log4j.properties file in case there's an error in it --

log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, R

log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=/home/httpd/websites/dev.firesofhope.org/logs/application.log

log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n

# Print messages with a priority of DEBUG or higher in the package com.oceangroup
log4j.category.com.coolservlets.forum.database.DbUser=DEBUG

thanks, joy
