If I specifically put log4j.properties inside the jar file than both the 
WS application and the jar log to the defined file.

But if I only specify logging properties for the WS application, only 
the application writes logs to the file and jar logs are not written.

Maybe the problem is that my jar file is in [tomcat]shared/lib 
directory? (It is purposely put there, not in WE-INF/lib)
