If you have commons-logging-api.jar (1.1) in you TOMCAT_ROOT/bin and commons-logging.jar in WEB-INF/lib and additionally the library of your choice (in your case: log4j) in WEB-INF/lib, commons-logging will detect that and choose the correct library. If you have it in commons/lib any webapp will use log4j with the configuration "found first" (random) if there is more than one.
