Follow on question... Some of my code is shared among several webapps. We've been installing the jar files in the tomcat shared/lib directory. I'd like the log messages from these shared components to use the same logging configuration as the specific webapp that is calling them is using. Essentially things running on a particular thread (and child threads it starts) would use the same log configuration.
If I use the solution mentioned (i.e., putting the log4j.jar in the webapp's classes directory), it seems like this will only cause the classes associated with the webapp to use the logging configuration? In other words, won't log calls from the shared jars use a different logging configuration than the webapp methods that are calling them? If this is a problem, then is there a way around it? It seems like I want some type of logging "context" that I can establish on a thread that defines ALL of the log settings, not just a name.

Instead of them sharing log4j.jar, put a copy of the jar in each app's WEB-INF/lib folder. Then keep the separate config files as you've done, in each app's WEB-INF/classes folder. Make sure there's no log4j.jar in tomcat's common/lib directory.
