The documentation truncates the location and assumes I know what the bit in the middle is!Documentation (http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/topic

I put mine in shared/classes/alfresco/extension.

I use dev-log4j.properties.    That's just the way I've always done it.

It looks like you can use whatever file name you want e.g.

custom-log4j.properties

Here's the relevant configuration:

                <value>classpath*:alfresco/module/*/log4j.properties</value>

                <!– Enterprise extensions –>
                <value>classpath*:alfresco/enterprise/*-log4j.properties</value>

                <!– Other installed extensions –>
                <value>classpath*:alfresco/extension/*-log4j.properties</value>

                 <!– private developer overrides –>
                <value>classpath*:alfresco/extension/dev-log4j.properties</value>

That's done the job beautifully - used $tomcat$/shared/classes/extension/custom-log4j.properties

You sir are a leg-end.

Kind regards,
