Startup class cannot find a config file.

Question

I have written a startup class to configure log4j in Weblogic.
The class runs but cannot find the configuration file. The
code for the startup class is as follows....
package com.n2bb.ams.common.util;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Properties;
import com.n2bb.ams.common.util.FileLocator;
import org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator;
* Insert the type's description here.
* Creation date: (12/5/00 11:12:13 AM)
* @author: Administrator
public class ApplicationStartUp implements weblogic.common.T3StartupDef {
     * ApplicationStartUp constructor comment.
     public ApplicationStartUp() {
          super();
     * setServices method comment.
     public void setServices(weblogic.common.T3ServicesDef arg1) {
     * startup method comment.
     public String startup(String arg1, java.util.Hashtable arg2) throws Exception {
          String resource = null;
          try {
               resource = (String) arg2.get("configFileName");
               System.out.println("ConfigFileName: " + resource);
               URL configFileResource = ApplicationStartUp.class.getResource(resource);
               System.out.println("configFileResource: " + configFileResource.toString());
               String file = configFileResource.getFile();     
               DOMConfigurator.configure(file);
               return "Log4j configuration initialized completed.";          
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Cannot open config file: " + resource);
               return "Log4j configuration failed to initialized.";
The section of the config.xml the calls my startup class looks
like....
<StartupClass
Arguments="configFileName=/bea/user_projects/mydomain/log4j-config.xml"
ClassName="com.n2bb.ams.common.util.ApplicationStartUp"
Name="AMS Startup Class" Targets="myserver"/>
I have tested the code in a standalone class and it works fine.
Why can't I find the log4j-config.xml file? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Wow, your system must have a long history of having picked up assorted bad stuff ...
You have CleanMyMac2, which should definitely be removed.
You have other stuff (MacCleanse, for example) that I don't have first-hand knowledge about but should very likely be removed.
You are using Google Chrome which is a resource hog.
Further, your Adobe Flash player is not current.
If I had all these issues, I would do a clean install of Yosemite and only reintroduce the essential stuff.
You can search for the .plist files by opening finder, holding down the Option key, and doing Go > Library from Finder's menu and then searching for the file(s).
