I don't mean to doubt what you're saying but this line:

> Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
> ("java.io.FilePermission" "/chipster.log" "write")

certainly looks like it's denying write access to a file in the root of the
filesystem. It appears that this is an uncaught runtime exception being
printed, not something being logged by log4j.

As for the NoSuchMethodError. PropertyConfigurator#configure(InputStream
inputStream) is documented by Apache as having been introduced in log4j version
1.2.17. Upon examination of your JAR and the bundled log4j implementation, it
appears that your bundled log4j JAR within your application is version 1.2.15
(archive is named log4j-1.2.15.jar). I agree that it is very strange behaviour
that you are receiving a NoSuchMethodError in only some cases, however it would
appear that the cases where it does work are in fact the incorrect ones, as the
bundled library is clearly not being used if you are able to call this method.

I'll gladly continue investigating what exactly is happening here that is
breaking your application, and if we do uncover a specific bug, I will work on
fixing that. But at the moment I'm not entirely sure what is actually happening
with this bug report.
