Hi,
if you want to have own log-files per application (or let's say one
configuration file per application) you have to place log4j (and if you
use it commons-logging) in the application libs (e.g. WEB-INF/lib)
itself and not in the domain lib because each log4j instance loads only
one configuration file. See discussion on theserverside:
http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=27334#224381
I don't know freemarker, but I hope this helps!

You need not do anything in order for FreeMarker to use these loggers; if any of them is discovered through the class loader that loaded FreeMarker classes, it is used automatically. All log messages produced by FreeMarker are logged into the logger hierarchy whose top-level logger is named freemarker."
