Set absolute paths in the webapps/appName/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties

When it starts up, you should see that the log4j is read from various places 
in the STDOUT/STDERR (catalina.out).

Ok?

Thanks,
Chris

I still have the situation where everything is winding up in the
grouper-api_*.log, regardless of the settings otherwise in the grouper-ui
and grouper-ws log4j.properties config files. I'm still unclear on how to
separate their logs to their respective log files. They all run under the
same instance of Tomcat, if that makes a difference.
