How to package log4j configuration

[teknokrat]

I am creating an EAR to run on jboss 4.2.2. I would like have the application use its own log4j.xml instead of the default one in /conf. There is documentation as to how to do this for a WAR but I would like all my EJBs and libraries to use this config as well. I have tried adding log4j.xml to the root of the EAR and adding log4.jar to the EAR's lib folder but this has not worked.

Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

cheers

I'm trying to solve a similar problem with a WAR file. Can you point me to the documentation you referred to?

The EAR file doc looks like it might also be applicable to my situation but I'm interested in what you mentioned.

Thanks.

Which version of JBoss? For JBoss-4.2.x, i guess this should work for a WAR file (similar to what is mentioned in the post that i pointed to, in my earlier reply):

myApp.war
 |
 |--- log4j.properties
 |
 |--- WEB-INF
 | |
 | |--- web.xml
 | |
 | |--- jboss-web.xml
 |
 |--- lib
 | |
 | |--- log4jxxx.jar

jboss-web.xml contents:

<jboss-web>
 <class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance="false">
 <loader-repository>
 org.myapp:loader=MyClassLoader
 <loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config>
 </loader-repository>
 </class-loading>
</jboss-web>

Give it a try.
