Is it possible to configure JBoss 5.x to use jboss-log4j.xml located outside from JBOSS_HOME? If yes - what should be changed?

+2  A: 

The conf/jboss-service.xml file contains the reference to jboss-log4j.xml:

<mbean code="org.jboss.logging.Log4jService"
  name="jboss.system:type=Log4jService,service=Logging"
  xmbean-dd="resource:xmdesc/Log4jService-xmbean.xml">
  <attribute name="ConfigurationURL">resource:jboss-log4j.xml</attribute>      

I'm not sure what resource:jboss-log4j.xml means, exactly, but ConfigurationURL sounds like something you could pass in a file://-style URL to, specifying an external log4j file.
