1. Put log4j in the WEB-INF/lib of each application. Since each webapp should have its own classloader that other apps can't see (nor should the container be able to see it based on Sun's classloader heirarchy rules), the default logger repository is, essentially, reserved for use by your application alone.
2. Use a custom logger repository selector to create a distinct logger repository for your application. This allows for log4j to be in a global classloader that can be seen by all apps (and/or the container as well), but still provide a distinct logging environment for each application. To do this, you will need to utilize an implementation of a logger repository selector; two of which exist in the log4j-sandbox project.
See: http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?Log4JProjectPages/UsefulCode
specifically the links for the custom repository selectors and servlet stuff. http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-log4j-sandbox/src/java/org/apache/log4j/selector/ http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-log4j-sandbox/src/java/org/apache/log4j/servlet/
Take a look at the InitContextListener to utilize the repository selectors in a webapp...
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-log4j-sandbox/src/java/org/apache/log4j/servlet/InitContextListener.java
The javadoc in that is pretty extensive and should show you how to use everything.
You can check out the latest CVS. See instructions here: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html
Also see: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-tomcat/proposals/Log4jHelper/
which is a separate logger repository implementation implemented for Tomcat-3.3.x. Not yet for 5.x.x and probably won't be for 4.1.x.

thank you. ruud.
