Log4j stopped working

[Mike Himstead]

Hi,

I suddenly have a problem where logging in my web app is broken. First the log4j.properties:

#
# Turn on debugging messages for log4j
#
# log4j.debug=true
# log4j.warn=true
 
#
# Application Logging:
#
log4j.logger.somepackage=DEBUG, A1
log4j.additivity.somepackage=false
 
#
# Configuring our own log appender:
#
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A1.file=/somepath/ipad-bov-debug.log
log4j.appender.A1.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%d{DATE}] %-5p %-40.40c.%20.30M[%5L] %x - %m%n
log4j.additivity.A1=false
 
#
# See <a href="http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/index.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/index.html</a> to get the log4j documentation
#
# Set this in Eclipse to use Log4j in tomcat webapps
# -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/usr/share/tomcat/conf/log4j.properties
#

This file resides in WEB-INF/classes. When deploying my web app in a Tomcat 5.0.27 catalina.out has the following lines:

...
INFO: Installing web application at context path blabla...
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (somepackage.BOLogger).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

The BOLogger class is a bean which is initialized when accessing the web app's start JSP. I have absolutely no idea what is going on since usually this message means that log4j can't configure itself because the log4j.properties is at the wrong place or missing. Unfortenately I have only very limited access to the Tomcat (I can only access the logs and my application's folders).

Any ideas?
