I have .ear application deployed in websphere. It has two war, one ejb and one rar modules. I set the -Dlog4j.configuration=path to log4j.xml file as JVM argument. In websphere my application class loading policy is set to:
- Classloader order: Classes loaded with application class loader first - WAR class loader policy: Single class loader for application I have my custom layout class which extends log4j's layout. I have implemented getHeader() method which returns information such as product name, version, host name etc. My problem is during websphere and application startup header gets printed twice in log files (log messages are ok, they are not printed twice). After debugging it looks like log4j is initialized twice during each "war" loading. Is this possible? Or is it something else? P.S. log4j.jar resides in my application's .ear file. -- Himanshu --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
