Well... I don't think we should tie WM to another non-JDK API. I haven't 
used Log4J and we have our own logging apis... abstracted so we can use any 
underlying log transport - much like WM but simpler.

If anything, we should make it use the JDK 1.4 logging api... but that has 
obvious bad side-effects!

As per my post, I've got a feeling this is linked to multiple WM instances. 
I have a feeling some log target stuff is getting confused between WM 
instances.

I will test this shortly... I just need to add another module to my webapp 
config and if I get 3 copies of all log entries... then we know I'm right 
:)
