Re: How do I do to change the properties
fileforlog4jintoanother directory?
Thanks Jake.

getting resources from WEB-INF is specific to a servlet application.
If
you need to get the config file from both places, then put your config
file
back into WEB-INF/classes/config. At that point, the code below will
work
and you can change your path in the servlet example to this...
context.getResource("/WEB-INF/classes/config/log4j.properties");
