Subject: log4j property configuration problem


Hi All

Tried using the instructions from the Log4j manual on using a servlet for
log4j initialisation. Below is code from the example:

public void init() { 
	String prefix = getServletContext().getRealPath("/"); 
	String file = getInitParameter("log4j-init-file"); 
	// if the log4j-init-file is not set, then no point in trying 
	if(file != null) { 
		PropertyConfigurator.configure(prefix+file); 
	} 
}

However getRealPath() doesn't work from within a WAR file. Any suggestions.
I don't want it to be an expanded WAR file, also the solution, if possible,
must be web container independent.

Thanks

Mark
