Description

The following configuration doesn't seem to work with Geronimo/Tomcat in my plan file
<gbean name="MyLog4jConfiguration"
class="org.apache.geronimo.system.logging.log4j.ApplicationLog4jConfigurationGBean">
<attribute name="log4jResource">log4j.properties</attribute>
</gbean>

I've tried setting it to META-INF/log4j.properites. I've put my log4j.properties file in META-INF in my jar/ under classes/META-INF under my Webapps META-INF folder and under the geronimo META-INF folder. It doesn't pick up the file.

I receive the following error:
