Look at the Default Initialization Procedure and Example Configurations sections here: http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html (about 3/4 of the way down). If you don't want to use the .properties format, remove (or rename) the tomcat-juli.jar from Tomcat's bin directory, then specify the location of the .xml file in CATALINA_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS (or as a -D parameter if running as a Windows service) per the above doc. However, note this comment in the Tomcat docs for log4j: "Note that there are known issues with using this naming convention (with square brackets) in log4j XML based configuration files, so we recommend you use a properties file as described until a future version of log4j allows this convention." - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
