Thanks to everyone that offered suggestions. I upgraded to Tomcat 7. I tried various logging options, and all kinds of changes to logging.properties. I tried changing the way the Tomcat daemon is started. I tried running Tomcat in the foreground instead of as a daemon.
In the end it turned out to be a stupid mistake, as I suspected it would be. The problem was in the ant script that was building my WAR. It was picking up an old jar instead of the latest files, so I essentially wasn't changing anything when I made changes and redeployed. All is working now. I've got logging working through slf4j, Hibernate is persisting objects, and everything is good.

I've done some developing with Google App Engine, but I'm looking to host something on my own system instead of theirs. My system is running Ubuntu 10.04.3. Tomcat is 6.0.24, JVM is 1.6.0_20-b20. I've written my app using GWT 2.4.0. I'm also trying to use Hibernate and MySQL for the back end. This is my first time with Hibernate as well, so I'm still coming up to speed with getting that configured and working. I can run my application in dev mode under Eclipse, with Hibernate configured to connect to the mysql server, and it works fine. But when host the application under Tomcat on the server it doesn't actually update the database. It seems to work, I get no errors or stack traces, but the data never gets updated. That leads to the real question I'm asking for help with - I can't seem to get any kind of logging to work, including simply writing to System.out. All the documentation I can find says that System.out should get written to catalina.out, but I'm not seeing it. I do see "deploying" and "undeploying" messages in catalina.out, so I know I've got the right file and it is getting logged to, but I don't see anything else there. I've tried changing logging.properties to specify level=ALL for everything, thinking maybe the output was getting filtered, but that didn't help. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong? Is my System.out going somewhere else? I'm generally pretty good at working out problems for myself, but with no error messages and no way to get any kind of logging I'm stuck. If someone could help me at least get logging working I can probably work the rest out.
