Ceki. You are right here. The server provides the JMX libraries in a parent classloader, as it is the server providing the service. In order for Log4j to work with JMX, they must be in the same classloader. As such, putting log4j.jar in WEB-INF/lib in servers (like Tomcat) which load libraries preferentially from the WebappClassLoader will not work. In this case, the default behavior of servers like JBoss and WebLogic is probably preferrable, since it won't really matter where log4j.jar is (although one might run into some log4j.jar versioning problems, which is the major reason for the servlet spec recommended classloading scheme). Under Tomcat, log4j.jar would need to be in common/lib and removed from any webapp's WEB-INF/lib in order for this to work.
