Log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.

Question

Hello
I have Log4j.properties
log4j.rootCategory = DEBUG, file ,ImportFileAppender , console
log4j.appender.stdout.threshold = ERROR
log4j.appender.stdout = org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern = %d{ABSOLUTE} %5p [%t] %c - %m%n
log4j.appender.file.threshold = DEBUG
log4j.appender.file.File = ${qtl.log.location}
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize = 10MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex = 10
log4j.appender.file = org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern =%-5p|%-80m|%d%n
log4j.appender.ImportFileAppender.threshold = DEBUG
log4j.appender.ImportFileAppender.File = ${qtl.log.import}
log4j.appender.ImportFileAppender = org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.ImportFileAppender.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ImportFileAppender.layout.ConversionPattern = %-5p|%-80m|%d%n
and i am giving ${qtl.log.location} through java file like this
private static String LOG_4J_PROPERTY_FILE = "/src/com/impact/qtl12/commons/log4j.properties";
logFileName     = "log-" + new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd-hhmm").format(new Date()) + ".log";
          logFilePath = dirString + "\\" + logFileName;;
System.setProperty("qtl.log.location", logFilePath); //replacing ${qtl.log.location} by the logFilePath in log4j.properties String directory = System.getProperty("user.dir");
PropertyConfigurator.configure(directory + LOG_4J_PROPERTY_FILE);
when i run my program i get error of this type
log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.

/src/com/...EDIT: never mind, moving along, I missed a bit of code there... In my own defense, use \ formatting tags to make it slightly more inviting to read it.
