I've used log4j 1.2.9 with struts 1.2.7 and Weblogic 8.1.2 without any problems. Do you have any indication of what class is not being found? Are you missing a dependency for an appender that you're using? (See http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=1007095, though this may be out-of-date.)

Could there be something outside your app that's using commons logging, and therefore needs log4j once it's installed? Try putting the log4j.jar in your server classpath, e.g., weblogic81/server/lib, and see if that helps. I'm really grasping at straws, here. Alternatively, could there be
