Hello,

Does the AutoDeployer use a different classpath than the JBoss server runtime?

I have my own log4j category and an EJB is using it. When I deploy the EJB, the AutoDeployer Verifier is complaining it cannot find the log4j classes. The JBoss server uses log4j itself and is able to load the classes from its lib\ext\log4j.jar. So why the AutoDeployer is complaining?

This is my environment from the JBoss log
-----------------------------------------------------
JBOSS_CLASSPATH=L:\appserver\JBoss-2.4.1_Tomcat-3.2.3\tomcat\lib\servlet.jar;C:\Tool\jdk1.3.1_01/lib/tools.jar;run.jar;../lib/crimson.jar
jboss.home = L:\appserver\JBoss-2.4.1_Tomcat-3.2.3\jboss
Using JAAS LoginConfig: file:/L:/appserver/JBoss-2.4.1_Tomcat-3.2.3/jboss/conf/tomcat/auth.conf

And the exception stack trace is at the end of this message.

Thanks in advance for your help.
