No problem with that. Just use differently named loggers in each web service implementation and configure a separate FileAppender for each of them. Here’s a minimum configuration example that can give you an idea how to do it:

<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>

<appender name="fileAppender1" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
   <param name="file" value="webservice1.log"/>
</appender>

<appender name="fileAppender2" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
   <param name="file" value="webservice2.log"/>
</appender>

<logger name="org.x.logger1">
   <appender ref="fileAppender1"/>
</logger>

<logger name="org.x.logger2">
   <appender ref="fileAppender2"/>
</logger>

</log4j:configuration>
