This is where I'm at. It's not working.
I have a log4j.properties file in tomcat/conf which has these lines:
log4j.appender.tomcat = org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.tomcat.File = ${catalina.base}/logs/tomcat.log
log4j.appender.tomcat.MaxFileSize = 10MB
log4j.appender.tomcat.MaxBackupIndex = 10
log4j.appender.tomcat.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.tomcat.layout.ConversionPattern = %p %t %c - %m%n
log4j.rootLogger = INFO, tomcat
Then I have another log4j.properties in my WEB-INF/classes folder with
these lines:
log4j.appender.console = org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern = %p %t %c - %m%n
log4j.logger.myapp = DEBUG, console
All my page and other packages begin with "myapp".
When I try to log something using "info", it does show up in the
tomcat.log file. However, it does not show up on the console like I
would like it to. When I moved the lines from that file into the
tomcat/conf/log4j.properties file, it all worked fine. So basically, my
WEB-INDF/classes/log4j.properties file is being ignored.
Why is my log4j.properties file being ignored? I even have its location
specified in my web.xml file.
What's going on?
Thanks.

You need a log4j.properties file in $CATALINA_HOME/lib
Or in the classes directory at runtime... to ensure its always in the right
place simply put the log4j.properties or log4j.xml file is in the
src/main/resources root folder.
