separate log4j.xml deployed in an ear

[sanepid]

Hello,
I have an application deployed as an ear archive and I want to enable log4j within it. One sollution would be to add all appenders/loggers to the conf/log4j.xml descriptor, but I would like to have all bits and pieces of my application contained by the ear. In essence, the question is how could I separate the JBoss log4j from my application log4j.

I use JBoss 3.2.2 RC4

Any suggestion highly appreciated
Thanks
Radu

Try to embed in your EAR a logger service (.sar), with jboss-service.xml which describes your logger service and log4j.xml file wich describes your appenders

Don't forget to declare this service in the application.xml or jboss-app.xml file of the EAR.

Thanks for suggestion
Deploying a logging SAR was my first thought also, but I couldn't figure out how to load my log4j.xml in my ear without overriding the Log4jService class to use the Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(propertyFileName) rather then looking in the conf directory for log4j.xml

Any suggestions on this one
Thanks
Radu
