jboss and log4j configuartion

[sap_jboss]

Hi all,

I am in a strange situation. Recently, we ported our application from tomcat to jboss. One of modules uses log4j logger and rest use JDK logger. Whole application worked fine on tomcat with out any hassel. Now, on jboss, we are getting ClassCast exception for RollingFileAppender. I tried many things. nothing worked. Everything looks on place. Log4j.xml, log4j.properties are also has all the definations.

Can anybody tell me what could be wrong? I also tried changing properties from joss-web.xml. Totally cluless.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
sap

Post the contents of your log4j.xml/log4j.properties and also the exception stacktrace
