why is Log4j trying to find log4j.dtd

Question

I\'m getting an exception when I try to run my application (in eclipse) complaining about log4j.dtd. Am I meant to have a dtd file if I use the xml configuration for log4j?

Answer 1

i had this problem with a jar application and ended up putting log4j.dtd in the directory hierarchy and the warn/error messages disappeared:

org/apache/log4j/xml/log4j.dtd

btw that is the location in the log4j.jar file
