Log4j Warning while initializing? [duplicate]

by

You’re missing the log4j.properties or log4j.xml in your classpath.

You can bypass this by using 

BasicConfigurator.configure();

But beware this will ONLY log to System.out and is not recommended. You should really use one of the files above and write to a log file.

A very simple example of log4j.properties would be 

#Log to Console as STDOUT
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c %3x - %m%n
#Log to file FILE
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=logfile.log
log4j.appender.file.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.file.append=true
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c %3x - %m%n

#Root Logger
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout, file
