OK, thanks to your vote of confidence in the method, I dug further and discovered that my WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties was never being found. If I put the log4j.properties into the same jar (in WEB-INF/lib) with the class that was instantiating the Logger, it worked correctly.
That's extremely odd. What version of Tomcat are you running? That's a bug
because WEB-INF/classes should be put in the classpath before jars in
WEB-INF/lib.
This is 5.5.7, with the 1.4 compatibility package on MacOS. I've experienced similar issues before with different tomcat versions, though I had forgotten that in this case..
Note I do NOT unpack the app from a war, just copy the full hierarchy straight under webapps. Also, the WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties file was a symblic link. Maybe one of these makes a difference?
