Log4J Question:loading properties file in A.S.

[sandy1976rm]

Hi! I'm a newbee with Log4J.. Well.. I'm working
with Sun One Java System Application Server v.8.1,
I have a properties file and the script in java
with an hashtable who loads the values..then I
can see this values loaded in JBuilder but it
doesn't seems to work with my A.S. !!!

I took care of configuration in the application
server with the jar library and properties file
in the right folder in the file system and with
the path (if it is correct I don't have idea,well
it is "/lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar" and
"/lib/log4j.properties") into the A.S. console
in the JVMSettings/PathSettings
I tried into the java code both with an absolute
or a relative path in my class but it doesn't work..
I tried to test it but I can't have information in
my log server about what is wrong even if I try to
debug the application.

Mine is a server-side application (with a .jar
within an .ear and this .jar in issue contains
other three .jar) who is in remote communication
with the stand-alone/client-side of the application.

Is there something (or more) huge or tiny I forgot ?

Thanks in advance for help..
