Those are two different goals.

Do you really want to tie your logging into how tomcat logs things?
Typically, those are left separate.  In general, you also want your
application to be as portable and therefore container-independent as
possible.

For the tomcat part: see the Logger configuration reference for more
details:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/logger.html

Also note that tomcat 4.1.x makes jakarta commons logging available to
webapps by placing the API in the common/lib directory.  So if you write
your code to use commons-logging, and JDK 1.4 is available in the
classpath, you will automatically get JDK 1.4 logging.

Personally, I like log4j much better than JDK 1.4 logging, and don't
find much value to commons-logging either, so I just use log4j and have
been very happy with it.  Searching the list archives of this and the
log4j-user list will show you many comparison and discussion threads on
log4j vs. JDK 1.4 logging with and without commons-logging in the
middle.
