Andrus,
Thanks for the apache logging link.
Concerning:
In short, when your application starts, and before Cayenne is
loaded, you have to manually bootstrap log4j using
PropertyConfigurator class, specifying the config file:
PropertyConfigurator.configure(myFile);
This way you can't possibly misplace the config file (you'll get an
exception), and all your logging configuration will be accounted for.
I remember reading this in your docs. However, since the scenario is
a Tomcat webapp, I am not exactly sure where it is in the code that
the app "starts". I think that this was a topic in your discussion
(that I read, possibly for an older version), and it suggested that
the cayenne-log.properties should be placed in a hidden directory
".cayenne" in the search path (which, I assume for a WebApp is either
WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/config/cayenne-files - if you use the web.xml
filter). <= could not get either of these to work btw.
I am in total hack-mode and am looking for the "ON/OFF" switch. :)

I see, sorry for the confusion.
As an aside Log4J *project* seems to be either dead or on life
support, abandoned by its authors, who moved to write the new
logging frameworks, which may or may not work with commons-logging.
Still the latest stable version of Log4J works great. Just figured
I'd mention..
This Log4J doc may get you started:

Andrus,
I have not used log4j very much and definitely am not an expert at
configuring it. I have not been able to implement the instructions
found at
http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/configuring-logging.html
so that I can control logging.
Quoting from 3.0M6 docs on your website:
"Commons-logging allows users to choose their own logging
provider, such as Log4J or java.util.logging."
This is what I was attempting to convey in my last message (sorry,
I was not trying to comment on 2.0 configuration)
Furthermore, when I attempted to implement the example to turn SQL
tracing off:
log4j.logger.org.apache.cayenne.access.QueryLogger = WARN
I found that there was no change in the output.
So I can only assume that I am missing some fundamental part of the
primer. My last theory is that I have either placed my cayenne-
log.properties file in the wrong location, or I my configuration
parameters are incomplete.
Do you have any suggestions.

This can't be true... If you put org.objectstyle in the logging
config, it will have zero effect in 2.0 and 3.0.
