cpannon,
I just wrote a very simple web application (2 JSP files, one servlet) and added
log4j. I ran this on Linux and Windows/XP with both console and file logging. I
don't have access to a Windows server platform (all UNIX or Linux) so I cannot
test there. Note, I'm not running under a security manager, and on Windows/XP
I'm running with an account that has administrator privileges (I know, I know).
However, Tomcat is started using the local System account, so its privileges
are
more limited.
I didn't get any errors.
A portion of the log4j.properties file:
### direct log messages to stdout ###
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
The above generates log messages to catalina.out on Linux and stdout_<date>.log
(in %CATALINA_HOME%\logs) on Windows/XP.
As Chris has pointed out, be careful where you put your log4j jar file. Since
you're logging for a particular web application, place the log4j jar file in
<Application>/WEB-INF/lib.
I'm not sure what potential classloader issues you will run into if you place
the log4j jar file in $CATALINA_HOME/lib. Definitely do not place the jar file
in both $CATALINA_HOME/lib and <Application>/WEB-INF/lib.
. . . . just my two cents.

You should probably not be using Class.getResourceAsStream, but instead
ServletContext.getResourceAsStream. The latter will always load
resources relative to the webapp instead of potentially randomly for
whatever ClassLoader you happen to stumble across.
Where is the code you originally posted running? In a
ServletContextListener? Where is the class for that listener located?
If you are playing games with .jar files and/or classes in the wrong
place because you want to save disk space or something like that, you
will end up with these weird kinds of errors, and you will probably end
up with enormous memory leaks if you (hot) redeploy your webapp.
