Setting up XML configuration problems

[Steven Leija <St...@valtech.com>]

Hello All,
 
I'm trying to set up my log4j configuration through an xml file.  My problem
is that it's not connecting to my xml file.  Can anyone please provide a
second and look at my code to see what my problem is below?  
 
I do appreciate any help!
 
Have a good one, 

Steven

//  My Logger File 

public class Logger
{
 private static final String CONFIG_FILE = "config.xml";
 
 public static final int LEVEL_INFO  = 0;
 public static final int LEVEL_DEBUG  = 1;
 public static final int LEVEL_WARN  = 2;
 public static final int LEVEL_ERROR  = 3;
 public static final int LEVEL_FATAL  = 4;
 
 static void init( String configFile )
 {
  DOMConfigurator.configure( CONFIG_FILE );
 }
 
 public static void log( String classType, String message )
 {
  log( classType, LEVEL_DEBUG, message );
 }
 
 public static void log( String classType, int logLevel, String message )
 { 
  Category cat = Category.getInstance( classType );
 
  Category root = Category.getRoot( );
  int loggingLevel = root.getPriority( ).toInt( );
 
  switch(loggingLevel)
  {
  case LEVEL_INFO:
   cat.info( message );
   break;
  case LEVEL_DEBUG:
   cat.debug( message );
   break;
  case LEVEL_WARN:
   cat.warn( message );
   break;
  case LEVEL_ERROR:
   cat.error( message );
   break;
  case LEVEL_FATAL:
   cat.fatal( message );
   break;
  }
 }
}

 
My XML File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
