I have the same problem during redeploy. It sometimes happens during shutdown
and always when it is started again:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.log4j.Category.isEnabledFor(Category.java:746)
	at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.isTraceEnabled(Log4JLogger.java:327)
	at net.sf.ehcache.store.MemoryStore.get(MemoryStore.java:137)
	at net.sf.ehcache.Cache.searchInMemoryStore(Cache.java:820)
	at net.sf.ehcache.Cache.get(Cache.java:655)
	at net.sf.ehcache.constructs.blocking.BlockingCache.get(BlockingCache.java:513)
	at
net.sf.ehcache.constructs.blocking.SelfPopulatingCache.get(SelfPopulatingCache.java:71)

My setup is this:

- commons-logging-api 1.1 in tomcat/bin
- commons-logging 1.1 in tomcat/common/lib
- log4j 1.2.14 in tomcat/common/lib
- ehcache 1.2.4 in tomcat/common/lib
- property files in tomcat/common/classes
- commons-logging 1.1 in WEB-INF/lib
- log4j 1.2.14 in WEB-INF/lib
- property files in WEB-INF/classes

I have *two* webapps deployed which use ehcache. My guess is that during
shutdown, the log4j which is used by tomcat itself is destroyed while the webapp
tries to get rid of its copy because there is a mixup in the classloader or a
pointer into log4j from ehcache (which probably uses the tomcat log4j) leaks
into the webapp.
