Problem with ejbjar, log4j

[Molitor, Stephen]

I'm having trouble using the ejbjar task to build EJB's that use Log4J.  I'm
using Ant 1.4, with WebLogic 5.1.  I get an error that says:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lorg/apache/log4j/Category;

I do have log4j.jar in my classpath.  For grins, I also put log4j.jar under
ant/lib.  'Lorg' is not mentioned anywhere in my classpath.  Any ideas?
Thanks!  Here's the complete error message, followed by the snippet from our
build.xml file that invokes ejbjar:
