Thanks Jean Louis Just two more questions:
(1) Where does this directive go? Is this going to be inserted in the file [tomcat_home]/conf/logging.properties in the place of the default logging configurations? (2) I am guessing that the way to make this work would be to create a web app with just one servlet that initializes log4j and have it come up, then openEJB and then the rest of applications. What is the correct way to control the deployment order?
