OpenPortal Portlet Container and log4j

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to get my first portlet to work in OpenPortal Portlet Container 2.0 (on Glassfish) and Eclipse. it works fine, but a couple of things are bugging me. Number one annoyance is that I don't understantd why my log4j logging doesn't work. I found a couple of posts related to this issue, and I configured the log level in the admin page, adding my package with a DEBUG value in the additional properties of the "Module Log Levels" page. Unfortunately, I can't see any log from my portlet in the log file (neither DEBUG nor INFO statements). I only get the container logs.
I have the log4j.properties file in webContent/config and src/main/resources directories. My web.xml file contains references the properties file
<context-param>
       <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
       <param-value>config/log4j.properties</param-value>
</context-param>As indicated here on http://www.unicon.net/node/767 , I've checked that commons-logging-1.0.4.jar and log4j-1.2.14.jar are in WEB-INF/lib, as well as log4j.properties is in WEB-INF/classes.
Any idea ?
Thanks
Vincent

Deepak,
Yes my portlet app is using log4j. I'd like the logs to appear in server.log, or anywhere else. In the log4j.properties file, it is configured to log to c:/portlet.log , but the file isn't even created.
For the moment, the only solution I have is to use System.out.println :-(

Vincent
