Actually, I rewrote my xmls with the dep: thing.

Subject: RE: Log4j problem with my ear - more generally a class loader
question.
Well I tried it but this is what I get :
--
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
(com.zerobase.chaplin.ChaplinStartupListener).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
---
Really don't get it.
Here is the structure :
chapel (webapp) ->
Has three libraries :
chaplin-common.jar
chaplin-fx.jar
struts.jar
The startup listener (see trace above) is in chaplin-common.jar . It
performes the init call for log4j.
the ear contains all the jars for the business logic and architecture.
chaplin-common.jar and chaplin-fx.jar need the jars from the ear to
work. Including the zbutils.jar which contains my appender and actually
all the real log4j initialization.
here are my xmls :
geronimo-web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app
xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-1.1";
xmlns:sys="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.1";

Sub-question, this is a naive one. Why do you use dependencies for all
your tags ? (Precision: I've been working mostly on websphere to change
our web application into an enterprise application and now I am working
on the same thing for geronimo so I am quite new on this container).

question.
The first thing to try is to use the hidden-classes element in your
geronimo deployment plan to not import geronimo's log4j and commons-
logging classes.
Your geronimo-application.xml plan should start something like this:
<application xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/
application-1.1">
<dep:environment xmlns:dep="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/
deployment-1.1">
<dep:moduleId>
<dep:groupId>org.chapel</dep:groupId>
<dep:artifactId>Chapel-jetty</dep:artifactId>
<dep:version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</dep:version>
<dep:type>car</dep:type>
</dep:moduleId>
<dep:dependencies/>
<dep:hidden-classes>
<dep:filter>org.apache.log4j.</dep:filter>
<dep:filter>org.apache.commons.logging.</dep:filter>
</dep:hidden-classes>
</dep:environment>
...
hope this helps.
