log4j plain text Configuration File

[Durand Grimmett]

Does anyone have the steps to configure log4j with a plain text config file?i.e....an example config file, and/or which directory to place my log4j.properties file in so that it will be read properly. Im having major issues with getting started logging, any help will be greatly appreciated...

Here is what I put in my properties file

log4j.appender.trcFile=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.trcFile.File=C:/logs/TraceFile.log
log4j.appender.trcFile.Append=true
log4j.appender.trcFile.DatePattern='.'ddMMMyy

it creates a log file call 'TraceFile.log' and it will be renamed to, say,
TraceFile.log.03Jun04 when the date is changed.
