Thanks for following up Charles.
I have one more question about catalina.* logs.
I made some changes in my webapps config (snippet below) and I got logs in
catalina.out as well as in a file specified by FileAppender. The problem
seems to be because of my wrong config where I used CONSOLE appender as well
FILE appender; and hence I got logs in catalina.out as well as specified
file. As you explained Stdout goes to catalina.out, so this was expected.
But I see some inconsistency in the $CATALINA_HOME/logs directory. I see
catalina.out as well as catalina.<date-stamp>.log . But the
catalina.<date-stamp>.log file is not in sync with catalina.out, e.g. Sum
of( catalina.<date-stamp>.log ) != catalina.out file . For certain days I
see logs in catalina.out but there is no catalina.<date-stamp>.log file for
that day. I don't think those files got deleted, so I am wondering what is
wrong with the configuration? Any help on what to look for catalina.* log
configuration? Am I missing something over here?

Following were config changes to add log4j:
* Edited $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/WReports/web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener</listener-class>
</listener>
* Edited $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/WReports/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.xml which
contains appender and logger config.
Omitted unnecessary(?) part:
<root>
<priority value="debug" />
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
<appender-ref ref="hibernateLog" />
</root>

Good; that means we don't have to guess what any repackager fiddled with.

Sounds like it. Looks like someone has modified the Tomcat installation in
accordance with these instructions:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html#log4j
> I don't see any configuration that specifies catalina.out.
There won't be - that's specified only in the startup script as a redirect
from stdout.
