To answer my own question, the answer is this:
You need a log4j.properties file in $CATALINA_HOME/lib, as this page
describes:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html
As soon as that file was there, my own log4j.properties in my classes
folder started to be used. Just a guess, but I guess that the missing
file in Tomcat's directory caused an irrecoverable error with log4j (I
did have a log4j error in the Tomcat startup script), so nothing else
worked after that.
But now it all works fine.

Hi everyone. I've been using Tapestry 5 for a while. I like it, but
I can't seem to get logging working.
In my page java class I have this:
@Inject
private Logger log;
Object onSuccess() {
log.debug("Tim was here.");
return null;
}
This compiles and runs. I would like to see that message in a log
file somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere. I've looked through
Tomcat's logs (catalina, hiost-manager, and manager), and I've looked
on the console that I started Tomcat from, but I can't find it.
I'm not using the Maven setup. Apparently it makes a log4j.properties
file somewhere. I tried making one and I put it in my WEB-INF/classes
folder. I also tried putting it in WEB-INF/. Neither seemed to work.
The contents of my log4j.properties file is this:
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, R
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=C:\\work\\tomcat\\logs\\timslogfile.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n
log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina=ERROR, R
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.
