    wget -P /var/lib/tomcat7/bin \
      http://mirror.metrocast.net/apache/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.54/bin/extras/tomcat-juli.jar && \
    wget -P /var/lib/tomcat7/lib \

 cd /tmp && \
    wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/logging/log4j/1.2.16/apache-log4j-1.2.16.tar.gz && \
    tar -zxvf apache-log4j-1.2.16.tar.gz && \
    cp apache-log4j-1.2.16/log4j-1.2.16.jar /var/lib/tomcat7/lib/
    
 mv /var/lib/tomcat7/conf/logging.properties /var/lib/tomcat7/conf/logging.properties.old
