    Classloader problem with log4j

    reinhard.graf

      Hi,

      I want to have my own log4j.xml in my application. Therefore I implemented a RepositorySelector as suggested in
      the JBoss documentation.
      But on startup I get following error:

      java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.spi.RootCategory.(Lorg/apache/log4j/Priority;)V
      at com.soultec.trueAct.logger.AppRepositorySelector.init(AppRepositorySelector.java:47)
      at com.soultec.trueAct.listener.ContextListener.contextInitialized(ContextListener.java

      in the <JBOSS_HOME>/server/defautl/lib folder, there is the log4j-1.2.13.jar.
      But it seems, that the JBoss uses the log4j-boot.jar from the <JBOSS_HOME>/lib folder.

      Here is the structure of my ear-file:

      MyApp.ear
      + MyApp.war
      + META-INF
      + myjar.jar

      The RepositorySelector is initialized in a ServletContextListener which is in myjar.jar.

      In my application.xml i have an entry

      <module><java>myjar.jar</java></module>

      Please can somebody help me ?

      Here is the output of the jmx-console:
