Since the log4j jar is in your web module.
Have you tried to add hidden-classes in your WAR/WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml ?

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

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?
