Issue with PropertyConfigurator::configure function

[deepak singh <de...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
 I am using property file to configure the log4cxx. I am not able to check
the correctness of the input property file.
 I tried the try, catch but PropertyConfigurator::configure function is not
throwing any exception.
 I passed the dummy property file and in this case configure file printing
following messages on the console :

log4cxx: No appender could be found for logger (root).
 log4cxx: Please initialize the log4cxx system properly.


 Please let me know how to catch this error?
-------------------Code-----------------
void InitLog(const char *file)
{
     log4cxx::PropertyConfigurator::configure(log4cxx::File(file));
 }

hi Curt,
  Thanks for the mail.
  In My code, I wanted to check for incorrect configuration file.
  Is there any way to know that if
log4cxx::PropertyConfigurator::configure(log4cxx::File(file));
does not succeed. (apart form getting error message to the cosole). Doe it
provide anything which we can handle programatically if function returns
error?
  -------------------Code-----------------
void InitLog(const char *file)
{
    log4cxx::PropertyConfigurator::configure(log4cxx::File(file));
 }
----------

log4cxx follows the pattern set by log4j which is to silently swallow  
any configuration errors.  Add a log4j.debug=true to your property  
file and you may get some diagnostic output to the console.   
Otherwise, post your configuration file here and we can help.
