Running lein ring server headless, ignores resources/log4j.properties

[sindhubb]

I have a resources/log4j.properties file which is honoured when I run my app as java -jar... but when I run my app through lein ring as lein ring server-headless 3334, I keep seeing the log level as INFO. How can I get lein ring to honour my log4j.properties file?

$ DEVMODE=1 JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx500m lein ring server-headless 3334

Potentially this is an issue stemming from the use of Leiningen's eval-in-project. I'm unsure how to work around this, but I welcome any investigation or patches people want to contribute toward solving this.
