Re: Unable to write logs out to FileAppenders or
RollingFileAppenders
Where is log4j.jar and where do you put log4j.properties. To be more
specific, do you have log4j.jar in WEB-INF/lib with log4j.properties in
WEB-INF/classes, or are they in some other location? How is log4j
configured? Default configuration or manual?

"default" configuration refers to the automatic configuration performed by Log4j
in a static initializer. It looks for log4j.xml or log4j.properties in the
default package (uses log4j.xml in preference to log4j.properties). "manual"
configuration is where your code manually calls [some
configurator].configure("[path/to/log4j/config/file]").
Can you try changing to use log4j.xml? As I stated in the parens above,
log4j.xml is used in preference to log4j.properties. So, if Log4j finds a
log4j.xml on the classpath, it will use it instead of your log4j.properties,
meaning that although you think your app is using one config file, it may be,
secretly, using another. Note that Log4j-1.3 reports which config file it is
using in "default" configuration in System.out, ameliorating this "secrecy".
If this still doesn't work for you, then at least we've narrowed the possible
causes by one.
Let us know how it works for you.

Re: Unable to write logs out to FileAppenders or RollingFileAppenders
Posted by Robin Clarke <ju...@googlemail.com>.
The location of the files are:
WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.9.jar
WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties
What do you mean by "default configuration or manual"?
