Subject: ClassCastException with Log4J when Running Multiple Ears
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


Scenario: I deploy two ear files. The first application I can access
successfully, the application's logging working fine (to console and log
file).  

When I access the second application I get a class cast exception on the
very first call to Log4J's Logger.getLogger().  The first application still
works.

If I restart Geronimo and access the applications in the REVERSE order, I
get the same error, i.e. the first application I hit works (and continues to
work) but the second fails.

Also, the Server Log Viewer now gives an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
exception:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
	at
org.apache.geronimo.console.logmanager.LogViewerPortlet.doView(LogViewerPortlet.java:107)
	at javax.portlet.GenericPortlet.doDispatch(GenericPortlet.java:247)
	at javax.portlet.GenericPortlet.render(GenericPortlet.java:175)
	at org.apache.geronimo.console.BasePortlet.render(BasePortlet.java:125)
	at org.apache.pluto.core.PortletServlet.dispatch(PortletServlet.java:208)
	at org.apache.pluto.core.PortletServlet.doGet(PortletServlet.java:139)

Both ears contain a single web module each using its own log4j.jar (same
version as Geronimo).  

I have tried using the hidden-classes tag in geronimo-application.xml for
the org.apache.log4j packages.  Same error.

I have added the inverse-classloading tag to the geronimo-application.xml.  
Same error.

I have tried removing the log4j jars from the applications to force them to
use Geronimo's log4j jar.  Same error.

Have deployed via the console.  Same error.

I'm obviously missing something (hopefully something straight forward) but
what?

Any ideas?
