"Under Tomcat 3.x and 4.x, you should place the log4j.properties under the
 WEB-INF/classes directory of your web-applications. Log4j will find the
 properties file and initialize itself. This is easy to do and it works."

"The XML configuration file is placed in the context classpath
 (WEB-INF/classes), as hibernate.cfg.xml"

I don't know what's Tomcat's problem but in both cases, despite what the
documentation says, placing the config files in WEB-INF/classes didn't
work.
For log4j I ended up using an initialization servlet.
For Hibernate, I placed the xml file in several folders after some
googling:

WEB-INF/classes ; WEB-INF/classes/<path to class file> ; WEB-INF/src ;
<tomcat_home>/conf

Nothing worked and this time Tomcat explicitly told me that the file is
not to be found. I ended up having to specify an absolute path to at least
see that the code I'm actually interested in works.

I don't know what's Tomcat's problem... or mine...
