One thing to remember about 5.5 is that you will have to use a properties file
if you are using Log4j-1.2.xx. It is because the names of the Tomcat loggers
are like...
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/mywebapp]
The Log4j dtd doesn't allow for the "[" or "]". However, with Log4j-1.3alpha,
you can do this because it isn't constrained by a DTD. In any case, here's a
sample properties file for Tomcat-5.5 that might help (note that the A2
appender is commented out in favor of A1 because I use the Tomcat NT Service
which directs all console stuff to a "stdout.log" file on its own)....
