Ray,

It is a shame that Jonas does not provide an application classloader
property like some of the other app servers we use.  That would
definitely take care of the problem.

I wrapped log4j 1.2 beta so it looks like I may have to backtrack and
rewrite my log4j extensions and wrapper to use the stable release of
log4j until someone at Objectweb fixes their log4j wrapper.

Thanks for the response,
Bill

The new version of the Servlet spec provides for Classloader
differentiation between versioned jars (as a result of similar conflicts
between the XML parser included in most servlet engines and different
parsers included in web applications.) See the "Rules for class loading"
section of
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Servlets/servl
etapi2.3/

The Jonas team might need to consider adding similar infrastructure to
their server so you might want to drop a note in their suggestion box.

In the meantime, you might be able to write and register a custom
ClassLoader in your app that accomplishes the same sort of class
namespace partitioning.  See an article on writing custom classloaders
at http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2000/jw-03-classload.html
