Tomcat 7.0.50 log4j NoClassDefFoundError org/apache/commons/lang/time/FastDateFormat

[callmegar]

I'm using tomcat 7.0.50 with log4j 1.2.17 with tomcat-juli.jar and tomcat-juli-adapters.jar from the tomcat extras. I get this error every time I start tomcat

tomcat-juli is in the class path, these are the running parameters:

Any thoughts?

Using 1.6 version of the layout

I figured out that log4j-jsonevent-layout depends on:
commons-lang-2.4
json-smart-1.1.1,
junit-4.8.1

Added the jar's and is working fine now, couldn't find this in the docs, not sure if it is something I should have known. Not a real java expert.
