You need to put one in there if you want application-level logging to
work the way you expect.

Tomcat will not use the web application's logger if you configure the
two logging systems separately. You need:

- - log4j.jar in CATALINA_BASE/lib (for Tomcat's logging)
- - log4j.xml in CATALINA_BASE/lib (for Tomcat's logging config)
- - log4j.jar in webapp's WEB-INF/lib (for app logging)
- - log4j.xml in webapp's WEB-INF/lib (for app logging config)

Also, remember that you have to trigger a configuration operation
before you try to use the logger in your webapp, so make sure you do
that. I'm not sure how to trigger an XML configuration, but for a
property-file-based config, you just have to instantiate a new
"PropertyConfigurator" object. You can probably do something similar
for an XML-based configuration.
