If you are going to create a "config" dir, why not do it directly under 
WEB-INF rather than where classes are put?  You can load up an input stream 
using context.getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/config/log4j.properties") and 
feed that info a Properties object, then send that into 
PropertyConfigurator.configure(Properties) or load up a URL using 
context.getResource("WEB-INF/config/log4j.properties") and send that info 
PropertyConfigurator.configure(URL).

Of course you can still do this even if you leave the "config" directory 
under "WEB-INF/classes" and use the same technique above.  Whatever you 
feel comfortable with.  I just like not cluttering my classpath with 
non-classes.
