CATALINA_OPTS=-Djava.security.debug=access,failure
and starting tomcat at the command line with:
catalina run -security 2> access.err > access.out
to be useful for debugging security issues.

I don't think
${catalina.home}/common/classes/log4j.properties
is a valid classpath element.
An excerpt from the java tools doc says:
"How the Java Launcher Finds User Classes:
User classes are classes which build on the Java platform. To find user classes, the launcher refers to the user class path -- a list of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP archives which contain class files."
So - if you *really* want to go this road - ${catalina.home}/common/classes would probably be better.
However, since (IIRC) tomcat doesn't ship with axis you probably have it in your webapp's WEB-INF/lib. WEB-INF/classes takes precedence so if the properties file is there it should be picked up first. Ultimately, I guess it all depends on the relative places in the classloader hierarchy of the log4j and axis jars.

While debugging a log4j problem this afternoon... I happened to attempt to rearrange the contents of my CLASSPATH on my Fedora Core 2 machine in order to insure a correct log4j.properties file is being loaded by TC.
To insure the proper file is loaded, I placed
${catalina.home}/common/classes/log4j.properties as the *first* entry in
the CLASSPATH that catalina.sh passes into the bootstrap process. Looking at 'ps -aef | grep java' I see my properties file listed first
in the classpath.
HOWEVER, it appears that classloader sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader in Java 1.4.2_05 doesn't honor the -classpath in it's entirety - as 1.4.2_05 *never* loads the log4j.properties file that's in the classpath. Instead - it decides to load the log4j.properties file that is contained in the axis-ant.jar file.
Am I crazy???? Or did I do something wrong???
