log4j configuration in ear file

[strunker]

Hello,

I'm using JBoss 4.2.0 and I want to add a custom log4j.properties to my ejb.jar and web.war. I'd like to do the following:

application.ear
| web.war
| ejb.jar
| log4j.jar

I put the log4j.properties in my web.war and in my ejb.jar. Both of them uses log4j.jar referenced from MANIFEST. Logging from my WebApp works fine and uses the configuration included in web.war.
Logging from ejb.jar also works, but it doesn't uses the included log4j.properties. So what I can I do? Is there any chance to enable custom logging in my ejb.jar?

Best regards,
Strunker

I found this before but the description is for web application only. My WebApp is working fine, but I want to get my ejb application to log properly. How can I do that?

Except for that part about "Using your own log4j.xml file (with EJB JAR files )"...

You're right. I found it. Just needed to scroll down a bit more.

I added the ContextRepositorySelector to my ejb.jar and altered it to use property files instead of xml files. Now I can log from within my ejb.jar. But I cannot log from my WebApp at the same time.
If I put the log4j.jar in my WebApp under WEB-INF/lib logging from WebApp works fine, but ejb logging dosen't work. I get no exception or any other error message. If I remove log4.jar from my WebApp und put it just in the ear-file it's the other way round. I can log from ejb classes but not from the WebApp. It looks like a classloading problem, doesn't it?

Ups, quoting went wrong a little bit in my last posting but hmm, no edit button...
