Classpath related problem:properties file/workshopLogCfg.xml

Question

Hi,
          I'm using wrokshop8.1. I want to use the config xml file workshopLogCfg.xml for log4j
          But when I tried to use DOMConfigurator.configure("workshopLogCfg.xml "),I got java.io.FileNotFoundExcedption,apprently it's not in the classpath---but it's under WL_HOME/common/lib----isn't it a default place the workshop will look into it? How can I specify it in the classpath within workshop(if not use commandline when start the weblogic server) or other ways to do that?
          A similar problem is,I need to read some parameters from a properties file to my program,where to put this properties file?I even tried to jar only this single properties file and put the jar in the Libraries of the Applciation in the workshop,but still get 'file not found' error---how can make it be in the classpath?
          Thanks a lot,
          -Yixin

I'm believe that Java property -Dlog4j.configuration=%WL_HOME%\common\lib\workshopLogCfg.xml is registed to JVM during startup WebLogic.
          I think you should try to get config log4j by following example, it may eliminate the classpath problem.
          is it ans your question.

          Example1:
          String log4jFileName = System.getProperty("log4j.configuration");
          DOMConfigurator.configure(log4jFileName);
          Example2: Iif you use WorkShop & WebService, in JWS file you can obtain logger by -
          Logger logger = context.getLogger("async.HelloWorldAsync");
          logger.debug("about to start timer");
          // all we do here is start the timer.
          helloDelay.start();
          logger.debug("timer started");
