I tried that but the delima comes from the shared class. We want the instance of Class X that ServletY is using to write to the /tmp/ServletY.log and the instance of Class X that ServletZ is using to write to the /tmp/ServletZ.log.
Obviously I have struggled trying to prototype an example that would do it. Also with the multiple configureAndWatch(). How can you reduce this when the order of the servlets invocation might be random. Higher level wrapper class?

Configure log4j once via automatic configuration or whatever mechanism you desire. Other approaches exist as well, nearly everything would be cleaner than the approach in your email: you don't want to configure (andWatch!) log4j once from each servlet.
