where you want since that's configurable for your need in
catalina.properties (common.loader) - perso I use
${catalina.home}/custom/*.jar

why? your app can already use slf4j-log4j out of the box, just provide
slf4j-api as well

about scripts: depends, perso I use catalina one only but some users
like startup/shutdown ones.
We'll work on doc very soon (I guess when 2.0 will be ready) and
planned some nice features to make config easier (2.1 I guess but
that's in the todo list).
About the example: you want to contribute one with log4j? IIRC on truc
it just needs openejb.log.factory = log4j

Thanks for this valuable feedback! We really appreciate you take time
to help us improving!
