Description

I am trying to put all of my configuration files under WEB-INF/config folder but there is no way (other than an explicit reference to my file system) to set the log4jConfiguration to point to that. It also does not report any errors when it can't find the file log4jConfiguration (unless there is a URI reference error) so you are scratching your head when it does nothing.
