loader-repository and log4j.properties

Hi
I am using log4j 1.2.8 and jboss 3.2.3. I have the applications logging settings in log4j.properties which is under WEB-INF/classes.
But when running inside JBoss this log4j.properties is not detected. Instead it find the log4j.xml under default/conf and looks for logger names there.
If I copy the logger/category names to jbosse's log4j.xml it works.
But I want my log4j.properties to be used which is under WEB-INF/classes
I have set the UseJBossWebLoader in jboss-service.xml to false.
I was thinking may be i need to add jboss-web.xml nd set the java2ParentDelegation=false.
But what do I set for loader-repostory , since this is a resource file and not an archive. First of all is my assumption that I need a jboss-web.xml correct ? If so, what should it contain ? If not, how do I make Jboss read my log4j.properties for my application ?

Thanks for the help

I put some sys outs for java.class.path where it was reading the log settings. The classpath seems to be: ;c:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\lib\tools.jar;C:\jboss-3.2.3\bin\\run.jar
The code of reading the log settings is invoked during start-up of jboss. Is that the reason WEB-INF/classes is not in the classpath.
Would appreicate any help in this, have been struggling with this for quiet a while now.
