Java Programming

Hi,

I have developed a standalone java application, for logging the application i have created a log4j.properties in the source folder.
it is woring fine and the logs are created as specified in the properties file.

Issue:
i have created a jar which contains the complete source code and log4j.properties file.

if i try to create a jar without log4j.properties since the properties file will change by customer frequantly, i need to keep the log4j.properties outside the source folder.

but my jar is unable to access the log4j.properties when i try to run the appplication.

Question:

how do we access the log4j.properties from outside source folder?


thanks,
J R
