Re: Tomcat 6 and log4j 1.2.14 - Why No Web Application Logging?
Try starting tomcat with the system property log4j.debug set
for example :
export TOMCAT_OPTS="-Dlog4j.debug"
IIRC, log4j will output info about which config file it's using to
standard output.

RE: Tomcat 6 and log4j 1.2.14 - Why No Web Application Logging?
Posted by "Egan, David" <Da...@supermedia.com>.
Turns out the admins had copied log4j.jar into an endorsed directory (not sure if it was the Java or Tomcat endorsed)....
Removing that jar and restarting Tomcat proved the solution and now logging blissfully.
Thanks all.
