Chuck, Initially I placed log4j-1.2.15.jar in the c:\Tomcat\lib directory only. This resulted in abc webapp logging in the c:\Tomcat\logs\xyz.log file.
When I copied the log4j-1.2.15.jar to c:\Tomcat\webapps-abc\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib and c:\Tomcat\webapps-xyz\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib directories, it created empty abc.log and xyz.log files. When I delete c:\Tomcat\lib\log4j-1.2.15.jar, I get Tomcat startup errors (NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Category). Also empty abc.log and xyz.log files are created.
