I found a solution if anyone is interested ( and maybe its the solution
at the broken link in the FAQ? )
When I first setup my log4j appenders I used relative paths from the
tomcat bin directory to the logs directory ( silly me )
I had log4j.appender.server.file=../logs/server.log
which works fine with the startup.bat, but the windows service seems to
need the full path, so following the convention in logging.properties :
log4j.appender.server.file=${catalina.base}/logs/server.log
And now Tomcat running as windows service writes out the log files I
have configured.
