JBoss log4j.properties overrides properties in webapp?

[khooke]

If a deploy a webapp that uses Jakarta Commons Logging & Log4J, I have my commons-logging.properties and log4j.properties in the WEB-INF/classes dir for my webapp.

The log4j.properties for jboss in either conf/default or conf/tomcat seems to be overriding the settings I have in my webapp's properties file - it seems to be that the threshhold level of INFO is preventing my log.debug() statements from appearing.

If I deploy the same webapp on tomcat4, the log statements appear as I expect and are definitely using the properties file in the webapp (the log statements are using the formatting I specified for the appenders).

I am deploying my webapp on JBoss2.4.1/Tomcat3.2.3 (the bundled installation).

Is there someting I am missing here? Do I have my properties file in the right place? Do I have to modify the jboss log4j.properties file instead of using my own log4j.properties file?

Thanks in adanvce,

The log4j.jar included with JBoss2.4.1 is older than the one that is in my webapp's WEB-INF/lib. It looks like the version of log4j that still uses categories.

Could it be that the log4.logger properties I have in my properties file are being ignored by the version of log4j that is being loaded by JBoss?

If I include the latest log4j and commons logging jars in my WEB-INF/lib of my webapp, why are they not being used?
