Firstly thanks for your reply.
Yes I am writing a web project using Rational & JAVA.
I was only using a static main function as a way of testing my logging
program.
As for the setup of my system, I am using Rational to code the JAVA beans &
create the UI .
(apologies if that is a incomplete answer but I am a relative beginner
using JAVA).
I am trying to specifying the properties location because that is what I
have from other examples.
My question is still where should the properties file go & how do I need to
specfiy it in Rational.
Many thanks.

Please respond to

WEB-INF/classes.
The logger is loaded by the class loader used for all your other classes.
The fact that you have a WEB-INF implies that you're building a "Web"
project and you mention websphere 7.5.4. However, you don't usually have a
static main function in a web project, you'd be using servlets instead. So
maybe we need more information about your setup to help you to a solution.
By the way, you don't usually specify the loading of the properties file.
You just specify getLogger and the logger code will find the properties
file; provided you have it in the right spot. Loggers are usually specied
as static; you don't want the machine to build a new one for every instance
of your class. Specify the class as the target of the logger; make it
Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class). Then in your properties file, you specify
the logging level for the class or package.

Subject: util.logging properties file when using Rational wesphere
I am using IBM Rational Application developer for webspere 7.5.4.
Where do I specify in the Rational IDE the logging properties file ?
I thought it should be located under the WEB-INF file.
But when I run the following code-
public static void main(String[] args) {
Logger log = Logger.getLogger("MyLogger1");
log.setLevel(Level.ALL);
log.info("initializing - trying to load configuration file ...");
try {
FileInputStream configFile = new FileInputStream ("logging.properties");
LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(configFile);
} catch (IOException ex)
{
System.out.println("WARNING: Could not open configuration file");
System.out.println("WARNING: Logging not configured (console output
only)");
}
log.info("starting MyLogger1");
}
I get the - System.out.println("WARNING: Could not open configuration
file"); displayed.
Help greatly appreciated.
