Our company is relatively new to Java in general so please bear with me. We are trying to use log4j within WebSphere 3.5 on HP_UX. We are also using resource bundles to obtain the log.properties file within our programs. The problem centers around using EJBs in addition to Web Apps (i.e., not included within an EJB). Log4j is located within a jar file in the EJB directory. It is not part of an EJB. If a Web App initializes log4j before an EJB all is well. But once an EJB initializes log4j all subsequent Web Apps pick up the property file settings of the EJB (or the log4j instance itself) and then their log statements write to the EJB logs. I've read the document on Understanding WebSphere Classpaths but somewhere I've missed something because I still can't get this working. EJBs will always be higher in the Classpath than Web Apps so how do I get around this problem? Should we initialize the A1 (root) appender as a Singleton and then have each App add its own appender? Are there problems with using resource bundles for this? Please help. This is a showstopper for us and we have one project that is pulling out log4j code in order to go to production on time.
