Log4j.xml doesn't seem to have any effect

[Saurabh Pillai]

Here's my log4j.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>
<appender name="MyConsoleAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<param name="Encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d] %-5p %t (%20F\:%-4L) - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="MyFileAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<rollingPolicy class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<param name="FileNamePattern" value="${CATALINA_HOME}/logs/abc%d.log"/>
</rollingPolicy>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d] %-5p %t (%20F\:%-4L) - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="INFO"/>

<appender-ref ref="MyFileAppender"/>
</root>
</log4j:configuration>

- I do have apache-log4j-extras-1.2.17.jar on my class path.
- I have also created CATALINA_HOME as system variable on my windows system.

When I start tomcat from MyEclipse, I expect it to create a abc<Date>.log file under tomcat's log folder. But neither I see that file being created not I see any effect of pattern on even on Console log.

Perhaps I didn't read carefully enough, but I don't see where you tell us where you put that file.
