servlet loggin not working (log4j)

[Alessandro Ilardo]

As suggested by someone oy you I tried to implemet in my servlet the log4j, but it isn't log anything.
Can anyone of you have look and tell me where the mistake is?

first I placed the log4j-1.2.13.jar in the lib folder.

then I wrote a configuration file:

# Log4j configuration file.
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, A1
# A1 is set to be a FileAppender.
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A1.file=/home/***********/www/web/tomcat/admin/application/
log4j.appender.A1.datePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.A1.append=true
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %d{ISO8601} [%t] - %m%n
log4j.appender.A1.MaxFileSize=300KB

the folder indicated has write permits,

I placed this config. file in the class folder.

[list]In my servlet I inserted this code:

private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(PublicController.class.getName());

[/list]
in the init

logFilePath = getServletContext().getInitParameter("logFilePath");
PropertyConfigurator.configure(logFilePath);

and in the catch statement

logger.fatal("Application (Applicatio name 1.0) - PublicController", ex);

Please, have a look, and tell if I made any mistakes.
ps: any other suggestions are welcome.

Thank in advance

you've specified a directory, but not the file name. I'm not sure about how case sensitive log4J is, but you may want to try:

log4j.appender.A1.[B]File[/B]=/home/***********/www/web/tomcat/admin/application/[B]MyFile.log[/B]

'layout can be lowercase, but I'm not sure if the 'MaxFileSize' works with the Daily appender. Or maybe it does.
