There was nothing else in your message, i.e. no error. ;) Tomcat 5 uses the commons-logging api a lot more than tomcat 4. Tomcat 5 (and tomcat 4) don't use log4j directly (which I dislike, but that's another story). You shouldn't have to put log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar in common/lib. You should be able to deploy in a completely self-contained manner: I have a bunch of applications using log4j deploying fine in tomcat 5, without adding anything to common/lib, just log4j.jar in WEB-INF/lib of each application. Perhaps your error message will shed more light...
