Are you running the tests using Ant? If the junit tests are run is a separate JVM the ignoreTCL directive will not be seen by the separate JVM. For example,
<junit fork="yes"> <jvmarg value="-Dlog4j.ignoreTCL=true"/> .... </junit> See Ant documentation for further details. Which version of Junit is this? Can you provide details about junit.runner.TestCaseClassLoader? What are its parents? Does it have a copy of log4j.jar accessible to it?
