Please initialize the log4j system properly. While running web service

Maybe it looks silly to ask this but I am confused. I referred to Configuring Log4j property but it doesn't seem to help.

I have written a simple web service HelloWorld. And while running it I am getting the error something like this :

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

I am not sure why its happening.

I am generating the web-service using Eclipse and deployed in Tomcat 6.0. I check on Axis Developer's Guide and according to them

log4j.configuration=log4j.properties Use this system property to specify the name of a Log4J configuration file. If not specified, the default configuration file is log4j.properties. A log4j.properties file is provided in axis.jar.

I didn't find log4j.properties in the axis.jar.

Any help on this?

If you are using Logger.getLogger(ClassName.class) then place your log4j.properties file in your class path: 

yourproject/javaresoures/src/log4j.properties (Put inside src folder)

You can configure log4j.properties like above answers, or use org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator

public class FooImpl implements Foo {

    private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(FooBar.class);

    public Object createObject() {
        BasicConfigurator.configure();
        LOGGER.info("something");
        return new Object();
    }
}

So under the table, configure do:

  configure() {
    Logger root = Logger.getRootLogger();
    root.addAppender(new ConsoleAppender(
           new PatternLayout(PatternLayout.TTCC_CONVERSION_PATTERN)));
  }
