After extensive trial and error I think I have things boiled down. In my
list "works" means that I see logging. For some there may be caveats.
All tests were run using Weblogic 10.3.6 (a Servlet 2.5 container) running
on Java 7. There were no difference when using Log4j 2.0 versus 2.0.1.
When I load the log4j libraries as a part of the server's startup classes
(out current preferred configuration with Log4j 1.2.x):
1) Standard web-app configuration with configuration file specified in
web.xml does not work
2) Configured with JndiContextSelector as the Log4jContextSelector system
property it doesn't work when I have things configured correctly. If I
exclude the JNDI lookup environment properties I get an error in the System
log, but logging works.
Removing the Log4j libraries from System startup and instead bundle them
with the application (no other changes)
Scenario 1 above now works.
The JNDI configuration does not work.
