Thanks Charles for the reply..,
I got the answer myself after a long time... Actually its like this
IF you have a default log file for log4j configuration that is
"log4j.configuration" under WEB-INF/classes folder and did not use this
statement
PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j.properties"); then the system works
fine, I dont know how but log4j is intelligent to pick the file
"log4j.properties" from the classes folder.
But the problem starts only if you try to configure using a
PropertyConfigurator having the same file there and use the above statement
then you get FNFExe because the classpath is acutally bin folder of Tomcat
and log4j searches the bin folder for a log4j.configuration which is
actually strange. So you will have to use this statement
PropertyConfigurator.configure(servletContext.getRealPath("/") +
"/WEB-INF/classes/" + "log4j.properties");
The similar is the case for any file in Tomcat, ie is if you want to read
from a custom file in tomcat say your own configurations for web application
the you will have to use the Path for the file using the
servletContest.getRealPath("/") + ... your expected file path starting from
root.
Thanks for your valuable time
