can't get log4j under tomcat working

["Dean A. Hoover" <dh...@rochester.rr.com>]

I want to use log4j inside a tomcat application. According
to the log4j short manual, all I have to do is drop my
log4j.properties file into WEB-INF/classes and then I can
just use it. This does not seem to be working. Can someone
help?

I added a log4.properties file to my .war file. Here's
the toc:

    901 Wed Jul 02 15:15:56 EDT 2003 WEB-INF/web.xml

The log4j.properties file looks like this:

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, roll

log4j.appender.roll=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.roll.File=/tmp/migrasponder.log
log4j.appender.roll.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.roll.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.roll.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.roll.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %F:%L - %m%n

I using jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24 on RH9. I am not initializing log4j
in any way, since in the "short manual", it says I don't need to.
I have liberally sprinkled log messages around, but I do not see
the log file getting created. Any pointers on how to get this
going?
