use the following snippet in grails-app/Config.groovy:

def catalinaBase = System.properties.getProperty('catalina.base')
if (!catalinaBase) catalinaBase = '.'   // just in case
def logDirectory = "${catalinaBase}/logs"

log4j = { root ->
    appenders {
        rollingFile name:'stdout', file:"${logDirectory}/${appName}.log".toString(),  maxFileSize:'100MB'
        rollingFile name:'stacktrace', file:"${logDirectory}/${appName}_stack.log".toString(), maxFileSize:'100MB'
     }
