Your exception is coming from Apache commons-logging, which is a logging consolidator used to manage software from multiple sources which may be using different logging packages. The message indicates it can't find the adapter for log4j logging.

I think there's a copy of commons-logging in TOMCAT_HOME/lib, so potentially you could be encountering a classpath conflict, but I'd check the apache commons logging docs to make sure you've got it set up properly.
