How do I do to change the properties file for log4j into
another directory?
I am using the Log Tag Library 1.0 from Jakarta Project.
In the Installation document, it suggest that in order to initialize
Log4j automatically, the log4j.properties file will have to be placed in
/WEB-INF/classes.
How could I put the log4j.properties file in /WEB-INF/classes/config
directory? What do I have to do?
Thank you.

If you are going to create a "config" dir, why not do it directly under
WEB-INF rather than where classes are put? You can load up an input stream
using context.getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/config/log4j.properties") and
feed that info a Properties object, then send that into
PropertyConfigurator.configure(Properties) or load up a URL using
context.getResource("WEB-INF/config/log4j.properties") and send that info
PropertyConfigurator.configure(URL).
Of course you can still do this even if you leave the "config" directory
under "WEB-INF/classes" and use the same technique above. Whatever you
feel comfortable with. I just like not cluttering my classpath with
non-classes.
