Look at the Default Initialization Procedure and Example Configurations
sections here:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html
(about 3/4 of the way down).

If you don't want to use the .properties format, remove (or rename) the
tomcat-juli.jar from Tomcat's bin directory, then specify the location
of the .xml file in CATALINA_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS (or as a -D parameter if
running as a Windows service) per the above doc. However, note this
comment in the Tomcat docs for log4j:

"Note that there are known issues with using this naming convention
(with square brackets) in log4j XML based configuration files, so we
recommend you use a properties file as described until a future version
of log4j allows this convention."
