As expected - first one in wins. > When I copied the log4j-1.2.15.jar to > c:\Tomcat\webapps-abc\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib and > c:\Tomcat\webapps-xyz\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib directories, it > created empty abc.log and xyz.log files. That's a least a good start - the separate appenders created the desired files. One presumes you expected the files to actually have something in them... > When I delete c:\Tomcat\lib\log4j-1.2.15.jar, I get Tomcat startup > errors (NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Category). Let's see the complete stack trace for that error. Do you have other classes in Tomcat's lib directory that are shared by the webapps, and do those classes attempt to do logging? Unless you really need them to be shared, put those classes in each webapp's WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes directories. Otherwise, you'll need to modify your code and have each webapp pass in or otherwise expose its logger to the methods of the common classes. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
