log4j and Weblogic Server : Logs not getting generated

I have multiple ears,For certain Ears I want log4j details to be picked from Weblogic level and for certain application I have application level log4j.xml bundled with ear.

  1. Copied wllog4j.jar and Log4j-x.x.x.jar to Server classpath
  2. Added the following JAVA_OPTION in

startWebLogic.sh -Dlog4j.Configuration=Mylog4j.xml

and add the "Mylog4j.xml" in the Server Classpath as :

    SAVE_JAVA_OPTIONS="${JAVA_OPTIONS}" -Dlog4j.Configuration=Mylog4j.xml
    SAVE_CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH}:/apps/myfiles/MyLog4j.xml"

  1. For application which have application level log4j.xml ,I have mentioned prefer-application-packages in weblogic-application.xml

    <prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>org.apache.log4j.*</package-name> 
</prefer-application-packages>

But the logs are not getting generated for those application which has there log4j.xml

Also,Just for info : Applications are using slf4j/commons-logging and log4j

Please suggest !!!

Follow below steps 1) copy log4j.jar and wllog4j.jar in server lib folder 2) copy your log4j.xml in server domain folder 3) change setDomaninEnv.xml to point to your log4j.xml file ex: LOG4J_CONFIG_FILE="${DOMAIN_HOME}/log4j.xml"

The issue was related to classloading : Below line in weblogic-applicaton.xml does the trick.

    <prefer-application-packages>
     <package-name>org.apache.log4j.*</package-name> 
     <package-name>org.apache.*</package-name> 
     <package-name>org.slf4j.*</package-name> 
    </prefer-application-packages>
