Thanks Mike. The info on Log4J is pretty interesting, especially the ability to log to remote syslogs! That's a great facility to have if you're logging security-related events, for instance. Will send you a longer note to your internet.com address. Will send the JNDI browser servlet code with deployment info to OrionSupport asap, probably the weekend. (If you find that logger, please holler!) Thanks! --Mark ====================== Mark, That would definitely help, OrionSupport.com would love your contribution! There is some interesting stuff in the ApplicationAdministrator that I sent to the list the other day, I believe that's where the logger is stored but I haven't yet quite hacked access to it. Have you looked at using Log4J? (http://www.log4j.org) It's an open source logging package from IBM. I'd be happy to work with you about how best to use this in an EJB / Servlet environment, I'm about to start looking into this myself.
