Are you including a Log4j implementation in your app? Geronimo provides log4j interfaces through pax-logging and the result is that by default you can't use the log4j configuration system in your app.
IIRC you can either use geronimo's log4j (remove the log4j from your app and configure app-speciifc logging as described in the docs https://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC30/configuring-application-specific-logging-with-log4j.html ) or configure your app to not import the log4j classes. Unfortunately I don't recall the exact way to exclude the log4j classes, I think you put them in a <hidden-classes> element in the environment in your plan. hope this helps david jencks On Nov 13,
