--------------------------------

             Summary: Top-level log4j.jar issue
                 Key: GERONIMO-6479
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-6479
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: xiezhi
            Priority: Minor


We want to place our log4j jar file (log4j-1.2.17) in the top-level lib directory of our J2EE application. The goal is to make our version of log4j and our log4j.xml configuration available to all sub projects in our J2EE application. We have added a <hidden-classes> in geronimo-application.xml. But it doesn't work. Our application cann't start because it couldn't find the class files in our log4j-1.2.17.jar file.

The error is below
null: Cannot validate jar:

The temp solution is below.
1. add this line into your <geronimo-home>\etc\system.properties
log4j.defautInitOverride=true
2. start the server, and deploy the application.

We need a solid solution
