There is a problem with classpath - the Log4jInit class is not visible to WAS classloader.

[Sunitha Dhontha]

can you please tell me how to make it available to class path

[Mikalai Zaikin]

Please, refer this redpaper for explanations on WebSphere Class Loaders.

What changes have you done to WAS 6.1 install? Typically WAS comes bundled with a way to handle/redirect all log4j calls to SystemOut.log. I have seen this with both WAS 6.1.x and WAS 7.0.x.
