Unfortunately, it's not that simple if one is trying to use the Log4j-1.3 specific configuration rolling policies and such which don't exist in 1.2. However, now that Log4j-1.3 has been made, for the most part, compatible with 1.2, you can use the old 1.2 config with 1.3. So, if Darshan is willing to do that and/or go back to using Log4j-1.2.x, then problem solved. Keep in mind there is one other issue here; separation of logger repositories. Or, even, separation of Log4j instances. The latter is problematic in JBoss with its unified classloader. The former can be done using a JNDIContextSelector repository selector. This exists in Log4j-1.3. So, each app can have the ability to have separate configurations from the server while using a single Log4j.jar provided at the server level. I would tend to go this route. Switch out JBoss' log4j version with Log4j-1.3. Sepecifiy the selector on the command line (sorry, can't remember the name of the -D parameter for this ATM) when starting Log4j. You'll probably have to manually configure Log4j for each separate logger repository, especially if the unified classloader won't allow for child-first classloading (although I believe there is supposed to be an option for this... but I've heard its a bit problematic).
