Just to finish up this thread, I found that the root cause of my problems was that I had a commons-logging.properties file buried in another jar file that redirected logging to a logger that wasn't able to be initialized. Kinda a catch-22. Anyway, thanks for the help.

According to http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html, "A handler's log level threshold can be set using SEVERE, CONFIG, INFO, WARN, FINE, FINEST or ALL. The logging.properties shipped with JDK is set to INFO." For kicks, I did try setting everything to DEBUG which didn't hav any effect. <http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html> I was a bit confused on the stdout and stderr since I do have two empty files that Tomcat created in the same directory.
