We've had to do the same for log4j and now for resource bundles. My
understanding was that anything under web-inf/classes was part of the
classpath for the webapp. WLS 6.0sp1 does provide isolation between webapps,
but it seems that things that are found by searching the classpath
(properties/resources) don't get found. This is a big issue for us because
separate web apps may need their own version of log4j, resource bundles,
etc. The example Daniel provided works for us, until we want a separate
configuration for different web apps.
I hope someone [BEA?] can clarify the behavior of classpath searching (not
class loading) when using webapps. Maybe this should be in the Servlet
thread, but I didn't see anything like this thread over there.

Hi Kiran,
you could specify a complete file url like this one:
-Dlog4j.configuration=file:/c:/dev/fbs2/repository/fbs_config/log_config
.xml
Cheers,
Daniel
