We are using log4j in a servlet in Orion. But I put the log4j class in
the Orion lib directory, because otherwise the servlet, (probably
using the extension classloader), cannot find them.
I can also put our own classes, among which extended classes of
Category and such, are in the WEB-INF/classes directory. This normally
functioned fine. But the thing is, that DOMConfigurator now cannot
find them.
This probably has to do with using the wrong class loader.
Anyhow, I tried to change DOMConfigurator, to make it find the
classes. This involved a few changes like:
< Object instance = Class.forName(className).newInstance();
> Object instance =
>Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(className).newInstance();
and then it works.
I think though that 'getContextClassLoader' is a Java 2 method, and
therefore probably not acceptable.
I am no Java expert at all, but perhaps the solution for this problem
presented by Ted Neward in his paper 'Understanding Class.forName'
would be feasible?
