HI, I haven't been following from the beginning but am still curious: is the war file on a shared fs?

What the answers in the stackoverflow thread suggest is packaging something into the solr.war. You could add the logging.properties file (JULI config) under WEB-INF/classes/ - I would recommend that anyway. (I never had problems with a clean solr.war in Tomcat (5,6,7), though.)
