Hi! I'm a newbee with Log4J.. Well.. I'm working
with Sun One Java System Application Server,
I have a properties file and the scipt in java
with an hashtable who loads the values..then I
can see this values loaded in JBuilder but it
doesn't seems to work with my A.S. !!!

I took care of configuration in the application
server with the jar library and properties file
in the right folder in the file system and with
the path (if it is correct I don't have idea,well
it is "/lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar" and
"/lib/log4j.properties") into the A.S. console in
the JVMSettings/PathSettings
I tried into the java code both with an absolute
or a relative path in my class but it doesn't work..
I tried to test it but I can't have information in
my log server about what is wrong even if I try to
debug the application.

Mine is a server-side application (with a .jar
within an .ear and this .jar in issue contains
other three .jar) who is in a remote communication
with the stand-alone/client-side of the application.

Is there something (or more) huge or tiny I forgot ?

Thanks in advance for help...

Usually editors will take files which are in their class path and works fine, but when you try to deploy your app in any server then those problems will come up. Now as you said the you've a class which loads properties from a file. That is where the problem might be. Can you give more info how you've written that class.
You can try by placing the properties file in the app server's class path [for example Tomcat's class path folder is TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes].
If you've a class which loads properties from class you can try by passing the class object to that class and try loading the file through it's getResourceAsStream() metod, if you try like this then the property file should be at the same directory as the class file.

May be you should try another server if possible, to judge whether the problem is from server container or your programming code

I do not know if classes would be picked up from the lib directory where you have placed your class file. Lib directories are generally meant for placing your jar files and classes directories for placing the classes. One thing that you can try is to add it to the classes directory parallel to the lib directory and see if it works. Else, try what Rakesh has suggested, putting it to shared/classes directory and see if it works.
