Hey Jan,
Well, I deployed that ear and the logging showed up as expected. From
what I can tell, my ear was set up the same way, but, just to see, I
replaced my logging config jar with the one from the test ear and
redeployed my app. The log file failed to be created. The only obvious
difference I can see is that the test.ear has just a web app, where my
app has a web app and an ejb jar (a couple of session beans). I tried
creating an application.xml (which technically shouldn't be needed) to
see if that was the differentiator, but got the same results. I think
what I'll try now is creating an archive that has just a servlet and see
if I can get logging working. If I can, I'll add a session bean and see
if that breaks things.
Thanks for your help and patience. ;)
