Description

log4j 1.2 will display a warning and ignores log requests if no configuration file is found and no explicit configuration is performed. JDK 1.4 logging has a last-chance configuration file installed in the JDK. log4j 2.0 should consider delegating to JDK 1.4 logging when no configuration is available.
