Hi, I have an interesting situation occurring when I initialize Log4j within my AppServer environment. I coded a "service component" which is basically just a special kind of session bean that initializes Log4j perfectly when the AppServer is started(restarted). Everything gets initialized properly and works great until a security component which has been deployed (for various reasons) to a different java package gets called. At that point I see that the static initialization that was done previously at the start of the service component happens again on a different thread and Log4j errors are printed indicating that it hasn't been properly initialized. So does this mean that Log4j initialization in an AppServer environment really needs to be done for every new VM session (in this case that occurs when a new package is employed by the AppServer)?
