I am pretty sure I tried option 3 and Log4j initialization did ignore my
log4jConfigLocation setting in conf/.../myapp.xml.
What I tried to see in the debug log is the list of context parameters picked

the Tomcat logs related to my parameter declaration. I shall look into the
Tomcat code to understand this.
