RE: setting up multiple log4j configurations for multiple WAR pac
kage s?
IMHO, the simplest and easiest configuration to maintain is to place
log4j.jar in WEB-INF/lib and log4j.xml in WEB-INF/classes in each WAR. This
should work fine without any additional server configuration. You should
not have log4j.jar in your server's classpath or logging won't be separate
between webapps.

Re: setting up multiple log4j configurations for multiple WAR
pac kage s?
Posted by Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>.
No, his statement is incorrect. You can utilize a repository selector to
separate logging using a single instance of log4j.jar. Read here...
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?Log4JProjectPages/AppContainerLogging
In fact, if you use Tomcat, even without using a repository selector, you
can provide for container logging and webapp logging, all completely
separated. Put log4j.jar in CATALINA_HOME/common/lib, put a log4j.xml in
CATALNIA_HOME/common/classes, and then put log4j.jar in each WEB-INF/lib
and either do manual configuration with log4j.xml somewhere like WEB-INF or
do auto-config with it in WEB-INF/classes. All your logging should be
separated without even bothering with a repository selector. This behavior
depends on the way the class loaders are set up, though. Tomat loads
classes and resources from the WebappClassLoader preferentially to higher
class loaders. This is opposite the normal Java2 class loader behavior,
but defined (I believe) by the servlet spec. Other containers such as
JBoss don't seem to do this by default, although you can configure them to
do it. As such, using the repository selectors is the only guaranteed way
to achieve separated logging.

So if the server itself uses log4j for logging, does that mean that you
will not be able to configure individual web apps to work independently
of each other and or the server?
