Logging configuration in TomEE 1.6.0 with commons-logging and log4j using webapps and ear

[ajaeger <An...@opentext.com>]

Hello, 

we need some advice regarding logging configuration in TomEE 1.6.0-Snapshot
20130417 with commons-logging and log4j. 
We asked a similar questions in January for TomEE 1.5.1 which were solved
with TomEE 1.5.2.

Meanwhile we moved on to TomEE 1.6.0 and deploy an additional EAR together
with our webapps.
- each application (webapp or ear) should have its own log file 
- each application should be configured separately with an application
specific log4j.xml 
- some classes are contained in multiple application but should only log in
one application if configured 
Multiple webapps:
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar, log4j-1.2.17.jar and log4j.xml are contained in
each <TomEE_HOME>/webapp/HelloWorld/WEB-INF/lib.

Single ear:
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar, log4j-1.2.17.jar and log4j.xml are contained in
each <TomEE_HOME>/apps/HelloWorld/HelloWorld/WEB-INF/lib.

In this configuration the logging for the webapps work like expected, but
the logging for the ear is not initialized.

If we remove commons-logging-1.1.1.jar from <TomEE_HOME>/lib than the
logging for the webapps and the ear works like expected.
But that will break the logging from openJPA.

If we add log4j-1.2.17.jar additionally to commons-logging-1.1.1.jar to
<TomEE_HOME>/lib then the application that is started at last overwrites the
logging for all application.

How must we configure TomEE to support our scenario? 
I can provide a small sample that reproduces our issue.

Thanks in advance for your help 
Andreas

Hi

providing a sample will be more clear (at least fo rme ;)

would be great if it could log "this message should have this format {the
message}" or sthg like it to show it doesn't work

PS: do you use use_tccl property of commons logging?
