I wonder what causes this error message:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.sax).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

but when I do:
log.info(......)
I can see the output on the console, any idea?

The message means that the log4j.properties file was not found. Printing logging output to the console (or rather System.out) is the fallback if the logging is not otherwise initialized.

This indicates that if you look in your log4j properties file, the Logger is not assigned an appender, here is a sample log4j.properties that works, compare this with the one you have:

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, testAppender
log4j.appender.testAppender=com.webmethods.sc.logging.log4j.WmDailyFileAppender
log4j.appender.testAppender.file=log/test1.log
log4j.appender.testAppender.datePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd_HH_mm
log4j.appender.testAppender.Append=false
log4j.appender.testAppender.layout=com.webmethods.sc.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.testAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=%m%n

#Prevent internal log4j DEBUG messages from polluting the output.
log4j.logger.org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator=INFO
log4j.logger.org.apache.log4j.config.PropertySetter=INFO
log4j.logger.org.apache.log4j.FileAppender=INFO

log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, stdout, runwayAppender
# SqlMap logging configuration...
log4j.logger.com.ibatis=DEBUG
log4j.logger.com.ibatis.common.jdbc.SimpleDataSource=DEBUG
log4j.logger.com.ibatis.common.jdbc.ScriptRunner=DEBUG
log4j.logger.com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.impl.SqlMapClientDelegate=DEBUG
log4j.logger.java.sql.Connection=DEBUG
log4j.logger.java.sql.Statement=DEBUG
log4j.logger.java.sql.PreparedStatement=DEBUG
log4j.logger.java.sql.ResultSet=DEBUG
# Console output...
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] - %m%n


where exactly should I place it? (I'm still getting the warning)
thanks!

You will have to place it in the classpath of the application which is using log4j's logger.

thanks Jaikiran,

I'm not sure what you meant by:

I have a struts application, where should I place it? under the web-inf/src?

thanks for any advise

In an application that is deployed, you wont be having a WEB-INF/src folder. Instead you will be having a WEB-INF/classes folder. You can place the log4j.properties (or log4j.xml) in this WEB-INF/classes folder of your application.

Also, see if enabling log4j debug flag helps

Sorry to awaken "dead" threads, however I have encountered a similar problem, and, I am still stuck. I'm using Eclipse 3.6.2.

log4j.properties.


This is placed where the source files (.java files) are located.

I just solved this issue by adding the appender. Seems like you already do have it. Try putting the log4j.prop in WEB-INF/classes dir or into WEB-INF itself.

Thanks, it's a good tip, but I don't run Tomcat here.
