log4j Jboss 3.0.2 repeating

[peteclark3]

I'm running Jboss 3.0.2/Jetty. I have a stateful session EJB that uses log4j. The bean itself and each helper class does a BasicConfiguration.configure() in each constructor, each has private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("name");

When I run jboss, it seems that two of every message is being logged. Then when I run my servlet, which calls the bean which instantiates these helper classes. I get several of each message logged. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

More info...

I have the latest log4j jar in my server/all/lib directory. For some reason now when I take it out of there, jboss won't start... it wasn't in there before... but now it seems dependent on it.

JBoss uses log4j as well.
log4j.jar should be in server/all/lib so it was in there
before.
If you want to configure log4j use
server/all/conf/log4j.xml

Okay but the main issue was in the first post... the constant repetition of log messages... any ideas?

What happens if you comment out all the calls to BasicConfiguration in your code ?

jboss3 comes up with log4j already configured (config in the log4j.xml file mentioned above), I wonder if trying to reconfigure it multiple times can cause problems...
