Can you send me your complete log4j.xml, including its DOCTYPE declaration?
Do you see any errors in the server.log?
When I tried using a log4j.xml config file, I saw this error in server.log:
log4j:ERROR DOM element is - not a <log4j:configuration> element.
I'll need to investigate.
Using a log4j.properties works for me, though.
Can you switch from using log4j.xml to using log4j.properties
for the time being?
Thanks,
Jan
