i personally think it's not a good idea to use the WSAD log factory. If you
want a very simple logging facility, use the JCL LogFactoryImpl and
SimpleLog
(-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog)
.
If you really want to save the effort of specifing two system properties,
lookup the WSAD document on how to use the WSAD logging. Afaik, the logging
is configured at:
Your Server Configuration > Trace tab >
check Enable Trace
specify *=all=enable (for enable all trace, or study the docs on
how to
log by package/log level)
The default ${SERVER_LOG_ROOT}/trace.log is located deeply under
.metadata/.plugins/xxx/ of your project folder.

There is nth special. Just get a logger from the default LogFactory as same
as using any common logger, for example:
Log log = LogFactory.getLog(MyClass.class);
log.info("this message is logged");
see API doc:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/api/org/apache/commons/logging/Log
Factory.html
