Brian,

If you can't put Log4j into WEB-INF/lib, could you try putting it into
"shared/lib"?  

I believe you mentioned that it was placed into "common/lib", which will
make it accessible to Tomcat & all of your webapps.  If you put it into
"shared/lib" it should only be accessible to your webapps, which should
hide it from Tomcat.
