Re: ContextJNDISelector setup?

[Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>]

Moving discussion to the Log4j user list where it should be...

Here's some things to try...

1.  "classpath:log4j.xml" is not a valid classpath URL.  It's a 
pseudo-URL supported by Springframework, which is probably where you 
picked this usage up.  Log4j doesn't recognize this pseudo-URL 
syntax.  The value is expected to be either a fully qualified URL or 
a path for lookup by classloader.getResource().  So, just "log4j.xml" 
is fine, as long as it exists in the default package.  The thread 
context classloader will be used, so even if "log4j.xml" is in 
WEB-INF/classes of your webapp, while the log4j library is in 
common/lib, it will be found.

2.  It's "log4j.repositorySelector", not "log4j.repositorySelectorClass"


Make these changes and see if this fixes things.
