I put the xml and properties file in the classes directory of my WEB-INF folder, not the commons.
I guess I did that incorrectly. Let me try that again, and move them to that directory.

That's a good sign. It means Log4j is being used. Have you put log4j.xml or log4j.properties in common/classes? Make sure you define a root logger with an appender. I would set the level to something like "warn" so you don't get any debug or info messages from arbitrary loggers by default.
