I did build the extra JAR files as described in the documentation. Whether I am using Log4J at the Tomcat level, or using Tomcat's default logging, I do get log messages in my web app log. For example if I add the following to my web app log4j.properties:
log4j.logger.com.mycompany=INFO it logs these messages to the web app log no problem - both with Log4J and Tomcat's default logging at the top-level. My problem is that it isn't logging Exceptions even though as I understand it, it should be logging anything with priority ERROR or higher (lower?) that is generated by the web app to the web app log.
