Scott:

After I cleaned up log4j version on both send and receive sides, the
problem automatically disappears.    Obviously, the difference of log4j
versions causes the server side classloader failure of loading log4j.  I
actually packaged the log4j and my publisher into an EJB. Thank you for
your advice very much.

I would have thought that point 2, below is the problem.
You can TEST this by putting log4j.jar in the classpath of weblogic, by
modifying the start script. Then every ejb will be able to load log4j
classes.  is that you do not have log4j.jar in the classpath of weblogic.
If
this works then you need to decide whether you wish to have hot deploy
functionality of log4j, is you do you must package it (i think) with your
ejb.

Scott

Hello,

LoggingEvent is serializable. It has been seralizable and serialized for a
long time.
There are two possible reasons for your problem:

1) You are not using the same log4j version on sender side and the MDB
side.

2) log4j.jar and consequently org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent is not
accessible by your MDB.

Hope this helps, Ceki
