Little did we expect today that getting Log4j to work in Websphere was going to be as challenging as it turned out. A co-worker spent yesterday and today trying to get our jars straightened out. It seems Spring 3 and WAS 6.1 and Apache tiles is a little more bumpy than we expected.
If you are having trouble with WAS and Common logging /Log4j, check out these links:
