Weblogic Reads Log4j.properties File, But does not use file appender within it

[salvin francis]

I have two appenders:

log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout
log4j.rootCategory=debug, rolling

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=Custom Pattern 1 : %d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n


# creating a logger file ....

log4j.appender.rolling=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.rolling.File=MyLogFile.log
log4j.appender.rolling.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.rolling.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.rolling.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.rolling.layout.ConversionPattern=Custom Pattern 2 : [%p %t %c - %m%n]

I am pretty sure weblogic Reads the log4j.properties file as i get output in Server console.

Custom Pattern 1 : 11:06:36,098 ERROR InvokerServlet:160 - This is the alert message at iteration 100.200

My way of refering to property file:

Logger logger=Logger.getLogger(InvokerServlet.class);
String path=getServletContext().getRealPath("WEB-INF/classes")+"/log4j.properties";
PropertyConfigurator.configure(path);

I searched the entire webserver directory, I didnt find "MyLogFile.log"
What am i doing wrong over here ?

Problem solved, there was a problem with my log4j.properties file,
If it may help anyone, here is the corrected code:

old code:

log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout   
log4j.rootCategory=debug, rolling

New Code:

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout, rolling
