If your Tomcat instance is dedicated to alfresco and your tapestry app,
I would try to go with the shared/lib approach.
Logging in Tomcat is a bit complicated to get right due to the funny
classloading hierarchy and commons-logging's log-method detection. I put
commons-logging into each web-app's lib *and* common/lib. Then, I need
commons-logging.properties in common/classes to point to log4j as
backend-impl.
