You can also use a repository selector.  BTW, do you have log4j.jar *and* 
commons-logging.jar (not commons-logging-api.jar) in WEB-INF/lib?  If not, 
put them there and try this scenario again.  A repository selector should 
not be necessary in this situation.  However, I always use one as it 
guarantees separate logger repositories for each application (based on JNDI 
namespace) with no chance of stepping on each other whether or not I have 
log4j.jar in WEB-INF/lib or a parent classloader.
