Im using tomcat to house a few servlets. These servlets are under webapps/myServ/WEB_INF/classes. What these servlets are, are a web-interface around another java app that I have located somewhere on my drive (/home/myOtherApp/ for instance).
I also have a common library of middleware tools that I use in both the servlets and the app. This middleware uses log4j to write debug messages to the console as well as a rolling file. The java app being called by the servlets is actually wrapped in an ant build file and is executed through Ant programatic (java) calls. All the calsspath setup is done in this buildfile. The problem I am having is getting log4j to work within my servlets. When I place log4j.jar in the directory where my app is looking for jars, everything works fine and I get log4j messages. Unfortunatly, my servlets also need log4j (since they are using the middleware which is full of log4j) so i placed a copy of the jar in webapps/myServ/WEB_INF/lib. When I do this though log4j doesnt work and I get various error messages saying I cant intitialize my appenders, etc, etc. Im not sure if anyone will have a solution but maybe some ideas can get me going down the right path.
