Java for smslib: building error for sending message using smslib

Question

i installed lib smslib for my project for sending message example in the lib smslib-v3.5.3. i followed all the instructions at the website smslib.org for lib setup. But i found the error.

 public class SendMessage{
public void doIt() throws Exception
{
    OutboundNotification outboundNotification = new OutboundNotification();
    System.out.println("Example: Send message from a serial gsm modem.");
    System.out.println(Library.getLibraryDescription());
    System.out.println("Version: " + Library.getLibraryVersion());
    SerialModemGateway gateway = new SerialModemGateway("modem.com9", "COM9",                 9600, "InterCEL", "");
    gateway.setInbound(true);
    gateway.setOutbound(true);
    gateway.setSimPin("0000");
    gateway.setSmscNumber("+84920210006");
    Service.getInstance().setOutboundMessageNotification(outboundNotification);
    Service.getInstance().addGateway(gateway);
    Service.getInstance().startService();;
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("Modem Information:");
    System.out.println("  Manufacturer: " + gateway.getManufacturer());
    System.out.println("  Model: " + gateway.getModel());
    System.out.println("  Serial No: " + gateway.getSerialNo());
    System.out.println("  SIM IMSI: " + gateway.getImsi());
    System.out.println("  Signal Level: " + gateway.getSignalLevel() + " dBm");
    System.out.println("  Battery Level: " + gateway.getBatteryLevel() + "%");
    System.out.println();
    OutboundMessage msg = new OutboundMessage("0987623500", "Hello");
    Service.getInstance().sendMessage(msg);
    System.out.println(msg);
    System.out.println("Now Sleeping - Hit <enter> to terminate.");
    System.in.read();
    Service.getInstance().stopService();
}

public class OutboundNotification implements IOutboundMessageNotification
{
    public void process(AGateway gateway, OutboundMessage msg)
    {
    }
}

public static void main(String args[])
{
    SendMessage app = new SendMessage();
    try
    {
        app.doIt();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

}

error:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (smslib).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

please help me a little. thank you very much

It has been years since last time I used JavaCOM but here is ListPorts test app. See if you can see any devices in virtual com ports. My SMS send+receive applications used smslib-3.4.0.jar release with rxtx libraries.

I always used RXTX .jar+.dll/.so files in Linux and Windows. Found some devices+OSses did not work properly with JavaCOM standard dll library.
http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Download

Files to be used
ListPorts.bat
lib/myapp.jar (or use ./classes classpath)
lib/librxtxSerial.so
lib/logging.properties
lib/RXTXcomm.jar
lib/rxtxSerial.dll (32bit, never used 64bit lib)

lib/logging.properties
