And Wade Chandler definitely wins the prize! I spent days tracking down, comparing exactly how NetBeans starts it up vs. how I do it from command prompt, and everything is identical. However, NetBeans, when it starts, grabs stdout and pipes it to its own in-memory cache (not sure exactly how). For whatever reason, when log4j within a webapp (and possibly in the internal Tomcat container itself, didn't test it enough) writes to a ConsoleAppender, it hangs. If I switch to a FileAppender, it works beautifully.
I am not sure how NB grabs the console when it starts it via a command-prompt, but whatever it is doing is causing the deadlock. I will avoid it for now, but what is the right way to get NB and Tomcat together to figure it out?
