own log4j properties
I deployed ear in default/deploy directory;
in the ear i have war and jar ;
in the WEB-INF directory of war i have my own log4j.properties file and also i placed log4j.jar in WEB-INF/lib directory;
when the server is up using listener class i am reading log4j.properties file;
below class to read log4j.properties file;its working perfectly;
public class PropInit implements ServletContextListener
{
private ServletContext context = null;
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event)
{
File logFile = null;
}
try
{
logFile = new File(context.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/log4j.properties"));
}
BLAH-- BLAH---
}
}
i followed below URL.

Using your own log4j.properties file - class loader scoping
in default/conf directory i renamed log4j.xml to jboss-log4j.xml;and in jboss-service.xml i changed log4j.xml to jboss-log4j.xml;
i made changes in jboss-web.xml.
<jboss-web>
<loader-repository>test:loader=test.war

log files are created when the server is up but content is not going to respective log file;every time its going into server.log(i dont want that).
i have one doubt should i write PropInit class to read log4j.properties that i placed in WEB-INF directory or else jboss will automatically read log4j.properties file ;
