Hi everyone!

I am running resin-3.0.7 and I am using latest log4j version. Everything was fine running log4j when I had only 1 application on my server - siblumber.com. Log4j was setup up like this - /WEB-INF/log4j.xml which uses ${user.dir}/WEB-INF/logs/logname.txt in all its appenders.

Everthing was fine up until I deployed a new application - royaleskincare.com. It uses the EXACT same approach as siblumber.com, and here's what happens:

1. Server is started up
2. application royaleskicare.com is started up
3. its event listener configures log4j using DOMConfigurator
4. it writes a single line into royaleskincare.com/.../trace.txt
(everything's fine so far)
5. application siblumber.com is started up
6. its event listener configures log4j using DOMConfigurator
7. it writes a single line into siblumber.com/.../trace.txt

After the server is finished starting up, I check all my loggers, and it turns out that BOTH royaleskincare.com AND siblumber.com loggers point to "siblumber.com/.../logs/logname.txt"

It seems that when the second application starts up, it re-configures log4j for the first application. But how is it possible? Aren't web apps ran in separate JVMs? Even if I check System.getProperty("user.dir"), they point to their approporiate directories.

So does log4j uses some kind of JVM-independent external configuration file that causes it to mess up my first application?

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
