I have a log4j.jar, .war and ejb.jar file inside the .ear file.

How can the ejb use the logging feature ??(Both the war and ear are in same JVM)
How can the ejb access this log4j.properties ?

Please Help

Your app server usually has a log4j somewhere (vendor specific). So you don't need to include that into you ejb.jar or ear files.

LOG4j setup for a .ear format:

The EJB .jar file has no knowledge about the log4j classes in the WEB-INF directory of the corresponding webapp, as the EJB and webapp use different classloaders.

1.Place the log4j.jar file in the root path.

and this worked.
