You did not post what error you are receiving.

[jwenting]

just a quick scan revealed at least one syntax error in the Java code.
Didn't bother to try to make sense of the rest after that, if you can't get it to compile there's little sense going further.

Anyway, it's a bad idea to have your web app keep its own log4j config (and I suppose jar file). Have the appserver handle logging for you.

I am also working on similar project.

Note the following documentation:

public void error(java.lang.Object message, java.lang.Throwable t)

But you are passing a null object instead of throwable.

logger.error("e",e.printStackTrace();//main error

You may simplify this by:

logger.error(e.getMessage());

Let me know if it works for you. It will also help me in my project.
Thanks.
