loading jars in weblogic

[AdwaitB]

Hi all,

I have a war file which conntains my application specific files plus some library jar files.One of the jar it contains is log4j-1.2.8.jar.(for log4j)

Currently I'm not using any logging mechnism.So No class is used from log4j-1.2.8.jar.

This log4j-1.2.8.jar has some error..a missing class.The war gets deployed.But when I try to access my application url it gives me class not found error.I am confused to see this as I'm not using the class that is mentioned in error.

Then I deleted log4j-1.2.8.jar from my war.And my application is working fine.

So what I can infer is weblogic is analysing log4j-1.2.8.jar and giving me class not found error even though my application is not using any of the classes from log4j-1.2.8.jar.

I'm new to weblogic..Please tell me what is going on inside.


-Thanks
