A recent posting by Mark T indicates the doc might be in error; someone writing 
a custom log handler had to place it on Tomcat's startup classpath, so the same 
might very well be true for log4j.  Some experimentation is in order, and you 
may have just done that.

It was already visible to all webapps when the jar was in Tomcat's lib 
directory, so moving it should not matter.  The local copies in WEB-INF/lib 
*should* be found before the system classloader is requested.  Note that in 
order to get individual use of log4j by a webapp, each must have its own 
log4j.jar and log4j.properties.
