Tried everything to get my log4j.xml file in my Maven Web Project to take over in JBoss 5.1

[envinyater]

I created a log4j.xml and I inserted it into ../WEB-INF/classes/ Here is the properties file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">

    <appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
        <param name="Threshold" value="INFO" />
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p %c{1} - %m%n" />
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <appender name="fileAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
        <param name="Threshold" value="INFO" />
        <param name="file" value="program.log" />
        <param name="append" value="true"/>
            <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p %c{1} - %m%n" />
        </layout>
    </appender>

    <logger name="com.program">
        <level value="debug" />
        <appender-ref ref="console"/>
        <appender-ref reg="fileAppender" />
    </logger>


</log4j:configuration>

I have a simple LOG statement in a class that runs at startup. I am seeing that in the console -- so that LOG statement is working fine.

JBoss 5.1 internal Log4j seems to be taking precedence and nothing I've found online is fixing it.

Any suggestions I could try and report back or any additional information I need to provide?

Here is the directory structure:

src
 ---main
    ---java
    ---resources
    ---webapp
       ---META-INF
       ---WEB-INF
          ---classes
             +log4j.xml
          +jboss-deployment-structure.xml

Maven pom.xml

        <dependency>
        <groupId>log4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.17</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
