One other way of doing it is to use appenders - appenders come in
different flavours - the default i guess is ConsoleAppender - as the
name indicates is stdout logger...

there is one more appender called FileAppender (or something like
that) - which then defines the file path where you want the log to be
directed to....

needless to say there is a property file which acts as the config and
gets loaded by the log4j package on startup and this property file
needs to be in the classpath....
