|Maybe the answer is to put a default log4j.properties at the top level of
|the axis.jar file, which we can reasonably expect will be on the classpath.
|The problem then becomes getting your own log4j.properties to override that
|one requires making sure it shows up first on the classpath, which I'm not

For god's sake not the classpath, the context cl maybe

marcf

|sure you can guarantee in app server environments.
