Log4j as a JNDI service

[appzworm]

Hi all,

1. Is there anyway i can access the log4j service using a jndi name like we do for mail service etc

2. Also is it possible to configure application-specific logging for individual applications without touching the global conf/log4j.xml file?

Pls help

Thanks in advance

If you implement a JCA wrapper around the logging service then you will get a connection factory bound to JNDI.

You can probably figure out a way if you do #1.

You can accomplish this by using a separate classloader repository for that app, or in the case of a webapp, configuring it to not use the JBoss classloader by setting the "UseJBossWebLoader" to false in jboss-service.xml for tomcat.
