Default log4j initialization
Hi,
I'm trying to get log4j to initialize when my app starts up, but it
doesn't seem to be working.
My command line includes "-Dlog4j.configuration=cfg/logger.xml" and my
"main()" method does an explicit call to Logger.getLogger() to force the
Logger class to load and hence get the static initializer to run.
It just isn't working. I'm having to follow the getLogger() call with
DOMConfigurator.configure(System.getProperty("log4j.configuration")) to
get it to set up. I have no idea what I've missed here.
I'm using log4j 1.2.9; the manual says the default initialization is in
the Logger class's static initializer... But when I looked at the source
of the Logger class I couldn't find any static initializer (or in the
Category class that it extends).

Hi,
Can you put Dlog4j.debug=true in the properties file? Instead of adding it to Tomcat which run the debugger every time. If it is in the properties file, then is only apply to that application that you are currently running.
Thanks,

You can add it to an OS system property called "CATALINA_OPTS". That will get
added inline with the java command to start Tomcat. So, do...
set CATALINA_OPTS=-Dlog4j.debug=true
Either set that as a permanent OS property or set it in the current command
environment and then run Tomcat from that same command window.

Add -log4j.debug to the command line to get more info about how it
tries to search for the config file. That should tell you what is
going wrong.

Add -log4j.debug to the command line to get more info about how it
tries to search for the config file. That should tell you what is
