Error loading log4j properties file

[yzzzzz]

Hello,

I am experiencing a very strange problem. I am using log4j for logging,
and I *do* have a log4j.properties at the root of my source hierarchy
(in the same directory as all my other .properties files).

However I keep getting these errors saying the file can't be found. I
have checked myself, using:
mkdir /tmp/a
cd /tmp/a
unzip /opt/***/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/***.jar
vi log4j.properties
The file is THERE!! I am absolutely positive!! But I still get the
errors below every time I restart a webapp (using manager).

HOWEVER, if I restart tomcat, everything works fine, I get no errors,
and the logging works too. This means I have to restart tomcat every
time I recompile, which is quite time consuming.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Solved the problem by deleting the jar file in
project/webapp/WEB-INF/lib (using the one in tomcat/common/lib instead)
