log4j - No appenders could be found for logger

[Akhilesh Trivedi]

I am getting below error while trying to write through log4j

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger ("logger").
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Can you please let me know what should be causing this? I have log4j.properties in class-path.

log4j.rootLogger=debug, A1
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A1.File= <path to my file>
log4j.appender.A1.MaxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.A1.MaxBackupIndex=3

Try putting that log4j.properties under src/main/resources directory and check if that helped solving the error?

I am on IBM RAD. Tried creating src/main/resources and pasted the properties file there. It doesn't work.

Where are you configuring the appender for "logger" I do not see that in your log4j.properties. In your log4j.properties, you have an appender named A1, but where is logger?
