Tomcat 3.x does not use log4j. However, as far as I know, Tomcat 4.0, or more
precisely Catalina, the Servlet container for Servlet API Specification 2.3, has opted
to use log4j internally. I'll double check this shortly.
The Tomcat API provides hooks to use different logging package then the one provided
by tomcat internally. I have not used this extension facility extensions myself.
However, I intend to study it in the near future.
Let me also add that I am in midst of writing a web application specifically designed
to view log output generated by clients using log4j. This web application will be a
paying extension to log4j.

Actually, I have been using log4j out of the box in my web applications. One has to
follow the servlet life cycle, in init() to intialize log4j and in destroy() to close
appenders with Category.shutdown(). Logging to the console also works without any
special steps. I am using Tomcat 3.2. Regards, Ceki

I hope to see you at my ApacheCon 2001 presentation
