I was getting error while running one log4j in netbeans

Question

import org.apache.log4j.*;

public class Log {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
       Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Log.class);
       PropertyConfigurator.configure("log.properties");
       log.debug("Hello this is a debug message");
       log.info("Hello this is an info message");
   }

}

Error is :- log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (log.Log). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

Answer 1

This error usually means that it cannot find log4j.properties on your classpath. Even though you are trying to instantiate your own Configurator, log4j will look for the properties file as part of class loading.
