Jake -- Thanks for the clarification.
Short answer: yes. Detailed answer: In addition to log4j.jar getting wrapped up and deployed, there's a log4j.jar file sitting in /weblogic700/common/lib, and the script I run to start the server includes this file in its classpath. I'm sure the problem is not caused by that file being version 1.2.7 whilst I deploy 1.2.3, or some permutation thereof; I made sure everything is the same version. So, if I understand you correctly, you (and Ceki) are saying that maybe WL is pulling in that file at start-up, but is somehow losing it when I re-deploy the app? Interesting. I'll poke around based on that theory, and let you know how it goes.

What was meant by the question was "Do you have log4j-x.jar in a number of places?" was "Do you have multiple instances of log4j.jar in your Weblogic install"? So, do you have, maybe one log4j.jar (forget versions for now) in the classpath and one log4j.jar in some lib directory within the Weblogic server that Weblogic automatically picks up such as Tomcat's common/lib or shared/lib? The issues is to figure out whether when the app was trying to load log4j.jar from different classloaders at different times. Also, there could still be version issues where the one in the classpath might be log4j-1.2.3 and the one in Weblogic's special lib directory is log4j-1.2.7 and things confused.
