Since your java class isn't using the CVP API, can you try putting it into one of the following (then restart VXML Server service) and see if any of these work? 1. VxmlServer/common/lib - or - 2. VxmlServer/lib -or - 3. VxmlServer/Tomcat/common/lib

I have a custom element in CVP 9 that calls an external class that is in a .jar in my application's java lib folder. That class is using log4j to log, but this file never gets created/logged to when I deploy the app to my CVP VXML server and call into it. Here is the code that gets called from inside the custom element:

1import org.apache.log4j.*;
2
3public class Foo{
4    private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Foo");
5}

and here is the log4j.properties file that I put in my CVP application's \java\application\classes\ folder:

1log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG,ERROR
2#file appender for Debug and Info logs
3log4j.appender.ERROR=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
4log4j.appender.ERROR.File=/test.log
5log4j.appender.ERROR.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
6log4j.appender.ERROR.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{DATE}  %-5p %c{1} : %m%n

How should I be logging inside this class? Am I missing a step?
