Answer 1

Seems like log4j logging library is not added in the build path. Make sure that Log4j jar is in your build path before u proceed.

Answer 2

The problem is not about Log4j its about commons-logging. Your application try to redirect commons-logging logs to Log4j. It will be defined in properties files for commons logging. In order to make this work you must provide commons-logging library too.

Answer 3

You can get around the issue by using SimpleLog instead of Log4JLogger.

In webapps/axis2/WEB-INF/classes/commons-logging.properties comment out the line with Log4JLogger and uncomment the line with SimpleLog:

org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog

(I'm running Tomcat 7.0.54 on Linux, but this workaround will probably work on other versions as well.)
