logging issues

[jo_atman]

Folks,
My webapp uses a "third-party" vendor's API, and this vendor has his logging set up a particular way with his own logger classes. When i run a standalone sample program using that API, i see all the logs.
When i run it inside my JBoss webapp, i don't see any of those logs. they are not in server.log or on the console.
I tried putting the contents of their log4j.xml into JBoss's log4j.xml, and their jar into the lib/endorsed directory, and that started a tailspin of NoClassDefFoundErrors meaning i had to put more and more jars in there
so i quit that approach.
Any idea how to get those logs to show up?
Thanks,
Nilesh

If the 3rd party is using log4j then you can edit JBoss's log4j.xml to add the contents in there. Which jars did you add/replace in the lib/endorsed folder? Ideally, you dont have to add/replace anything in that folder.

Hello,
I tried adding the appenders and categories into JBoss' log4j.xml, and it still didn't help. I did away with adding jars in the endorsed dir option.

Quick update: downloaded and installed 4.2.2 GA and don't have this issue any more.
