Re: Log4J + Torque ... gonna drive me mad.

Hi,

I needed to take the log4j settings out of Torque.properties and put 
them in a separate log4j.properties file:

> log4j.category.org.apache.torque = ALL, org.apache.torque
> log4j.appender.org.apache.torque = org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
> log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.file = c:/torque.log
> log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
> log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.layout.conversionPattern = %d [%t] 
> %-5p %c - %m%n
> log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.append = false

The log4j.properties needs to be in the classpath.
