Newbie: Log4j print to console, not to a file.

[Kawthar Bt M Sulaiman <mk...@maxis.com.my>]

Hello,

I just started to use Log4j today and I'm still confused after reading
some document on apache website.
This is what I've done, so pls let me know what else I have missed:

I'm using Tomcat 4.1.30 with Windows 2000.

1.  Move the log4j.properties file to
%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\
     The file contains:
     log4j.rootCategory=INFO, LOGFILE

    log4j.appender.LOGFILE = org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
    log4j.appender.LOGFILE = c:\temp\ECPA.log
   ...

2.  In my code, I replaced all my System.out with logger:
     Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("ECPA");
     logger.info("<messge>").

3.  Result, all the messages goes to my command prompt window where I
started my Tomcat and not to a file.
     I searched for the ECPA.log file but it was not created.

What is the right way to use Log4j?

Thanks,
--Kawthar

Hi, you can try this. Add this line:

log4j.logger.ECPA=debug, LOGFILE
