2 things to check:
1. You mentioned the /var/log/tomcat5/ directory. Did you create /var/log/tomcat5/ or /var/log/tomcat5? Note also that it'll need to be writable by whatever user is running Tomcat/log4j.
2. Is your syslog daemon configured to accept events over IP sockets (bind to a port), and not just locally (ie, /dev/log)? You might test that by generating an event with "logger" and see whether that appears in the system syslog and/or your remote log host. Instructions at http://help.papertrailapp.com/kb/configuration/generate-a-test-remote-syslog-message
It could also be that log4j isn't receiving any messages, but that config looks sane at first pass.
If you want to test with a known-good syslog receiver, make a free account at http://papertrailapp.com/ and add a system. You'll get a hostname that you can log to, and should be able to drop that into the SyslogAppender then see your messages appear. If you don't see messages appearing, they aren't being generated.

log::log4perl::javamap
JavaMap(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation JavaMap(3pm)
NAME
Log::Log4perl::JavaMap - maps java log4j appenders to Log::Dispatch classes
SYNOPSIS
###############################
log4j.appender.FileAppndr1 = org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.FileAppndr1.File = /var/log/onetime.log
log4j.appender.FileAppndr1.Append = false
log4j.appender.FileAppndr1.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FileAppndr1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
###############################
DESCRIPTION
If somebody wants to create an appender called "org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender", we want to translate it to Log::Dispatch::Screen, and
then translate the log4j options into Log::Dispatch parameters..
What's Implemented
(Note that you can always use the Log::Dispatch::* module. By 'implemented' I mean having a translation class that translates log4j
options into the Log::Dispatch options so you can use log4j rather than log4perl syntax in your config file.)
Here's the list of appenders I see on the current (6/2002) log4j site.
These are implemented
ConsoleAppender - Log::Dispatch::Screen
FileAppender - Log::Dispatch::File
RollingFileAppender - Log::Dispatch::FileRotate (by Mark Pfeiffer)
JDBCAppender - Log::Log4perl::Appender::DBI
SyslogAppender - Log::Dispatch::Syslog
NTEventLogAppender - Log::Dispatch::Win32EventLog
These should/will/might be implemented
DailyRollingFileAppender -
SMTPAppender - Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender
These might be implemented but they don't have corresponding classes in Log::Dispatch (yet):
NullAppender
TelnetAppender
These might be simulated
LF5Appender - use Tk?
ExternallyRolledFileAppender - catch a HUP instead?
These will probably not be implemented
AsyncAppender
JMSAppender
SocketAppender - (ships a serialized LoggingEvent to the server side)
SocketHubAppender
ROLL YOUR OWN
Let's say you've in a mixed Java/Perl enviroment and you've come up with some custom Java appender with behavior you want to use in both
worlds, "myorg.customAppender". You write a Perl appender with the same behavior "Myorg::CustomAppender". You want to use one config file
accross both applications, so the config file will have to say 'myorg.customAppender'. But the mapping from "myorg.customAppender" to
"Myorg::CustomAppender" isn't in this JavaMap class, so what do you do?
In your Perl code, before you call Log::Log4perl::init(), do this:
$Log::Log4perl::JavaMap::user_defined{'myorg.customAppender'} =
'Myorg::CustomAppender';
and you can use 'myorg.customAppender' in your config file with impunity.
