In that case, your log4j will initialize only once, probably incorrectly. +++ this is interessting.

IA64-2> +++++ If you want to use log4j in each web application, you should put a separate log4j.jar file in each webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory. +++ we have done that ! there is a minor mismatch as tomcat - the oldest dir - has log4j-1.2.15.jar while the apps are all at log4j.1.2.16.jar +++ note the observed behavior in parsing and later in logging is different if we use log4j.configuration=/path/to/tomcats/log4j.properties as JVM argument from within NetBeans when we start tomcat. Are you also trying to use log4j for /Tomcat/ logging? If so, you have to do that differently as well. I'm not sure how well it works (or if at all) with Tomcat 5.5. +++ yes - we really would like to do that; in example I really need now HostCongig.java's log.debug to print out when tomcat lifecycle event does a Reloading Context /axis2 ... causing us tremendous troubles at the moment. Maybe we'r hacked internally by some security folk. As you can see in my previous answer, there is a large apache$jakarta_server_output.log and you can see there that log4j.properties from DKA3:[APACHE.JAKARTA.TOMCAT.common.lib] is parsed., well thanks to CHAINSAW, I have found out all the various active loggers of tomcat; I can say, it works. So it is up to us to define proper appenders for various loggers doing debug output which will other whise not do any logging. also we need it on a one to one basis because just turning on debug-logging fro tomcat is a clear no-go in production, but other loggers like those from HostConfig.java are real helpful in case of troubles.
