jrubyonrails

I just spent the better part of 3 hours trying to get my Rails application logging with Log4j. I've finally got it working, but I'm not sure if what I did is correct. I tried various methods to no avail until my very last attempt. So I'm really looking for some validation here, perhaps some pointers and tips as well -- anything would be appreciated to be honest. I've summarized all my feeble methods into three attempts below. I'm hoping for some enlightenment on where I went wrong with each attempt -- even if it means I get ripped up.

It seems that the idiomatic way to provide flags to JRuby in an RVM-based Rails project is to set the environmental variable JRUBY_OPTS or PROJECT_JRUBY_OPTS, the latter perhaps being done automatically, since I see I can uncomment this line from my project directory's .rvmrc : PROJECT_JRUBY_OPTS=( --1.9 ) However, that line seems to do nothing, and if I set the environmental variables, RVM actually unsets them. So, how am I supposed to do this? (Note that I have this at the bottom of my .bashrc file, which is how I believe I'm supposed to use rvm:) [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "
