Hi, We use a proprietary application in work with Tomcat. The webapp is basically a frontend to a process that runs in the background separate to Tomcat. It uses log4j to produce its own log files, which are stored in it's own directory again separate of Tomcat. This setup worked ok in Tomcat 4.1.x, but I decided to upgrade to a newer version (with support for JDK 1.4.2).
Anyway, the problem comes when I try to log in to the webapp, I get an Exception with the root cause being: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Priority The webapp includes the log4j.jar file in its WEB-INF/lib directory, however it seems Tomcat isn't loading it (it does not have a log4j.properties or log4j.xml file). After some googling, I found quite a lot of information on how Tomcat 5.5 moved to a different logging structure. So I attempted to follow guides which tell me to put log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar in my common/lib directory. The problem persisted. Then I tried placing the log4j.jar file in common/endorsed and the error went away. I was able to log in. However now Tomcat is using log4j as its form of logging which isn't something I wanted. Is there an easier solution to getting it to behave like it did on Tomcat 4.1.x? Admittedly I am a complete noobie when it comes to Tomcat (and Java logging) so please excuse my ignorance if I'm making a glaring mistake.
