Now I have managed to move the jar to the WEB-INF/lib of the Web 
Service, but there are no logs from the jar in the WS log file.

If I put the log4j.properties in the jar with ERROR level, on for 
example stdout than all logs (from WS, and from the jar) are being 
logged, but with the LEVEL specified in the WS log4j configuration.

It seems that the level is being overriden, but not the appender.
