Re: log4J getting ==> java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

It looks like the problem is cause by Malformed \uxxxx encoding. Not sure what that mean, I'm assuming something is not right in my log4j.properties.



Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed \uxxxx encoding.

Does anyone ever encounter java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError when
attempting to do logging using log4j:

The line of code that I'm having problem is

Log.category.debug("Lim. TestLog");

The error I'm getting is:

[6/24/09 13:54:41:831 CDT] 0000001a ExceptionUtil E CNTR0020E: EJB threw

Try wrapping the line in a try {} catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace(System.out) } so you can get an idea what is actually
the problem. I would suspect a ClassNotFoundException if you do not
have log4j correctly in the classpath.
