I am using the example from the website Log4J Example

I am having log4j in "C:\apache-log4j-1.2.16" and log4j-1.2.16.jar is in "C:\apache-log4j-1.2.16". I have set the path to C:\apache-log4j-1.2.16\log4j-1.2.16 and LOG4J_HOME="C:\apache-log4j-1.2.16"
When I run the program, I am getting this error:


I am using netbeans and have added the library file to the project. What is going on?


Thanks,

That's not an error but a warning. Have you followed the steps suggested in the warning (read: do you had a look at the FAQ)?

Yes I did read the article. But I gave it the path to the properties file and still I am unable to see the output.

But

log4j-1.2.16.jar


is not the property file. Usually you name it log4j.properties.

The JAR file and the properties file simply need to be in your CLASSPATH, you should not have to explicitly link to them in your code. Please serach this forum for similar questions as there are several good answers there.
