This question gets raised every so often, and was an important requirement for an FTP server we needed. So we addressed the issue.
We have written a general purpose logging ftplet which allows logging of a variety of information based on commands, connection, or disconnection events. Based roughly on the ProFTPD LogFormat configuration, it supports most of the parameters that LogFormat does, several that are required to duplicate xferlog compatible logging, plus several that only make sense in a java or mina/ftpserver environment. There is a base abstract class that does most of the work, and several simple subclasses used to direct the lines to a specific output (such as a file). It is currently undergoing internal code review, and once this is done we intend to donate it to the Apache project for inclusion with mina/ftpserver. Hopefully this will be within the next week or so and after we have figured out the correct procedure to do so. I can answer any questions about the class, if desired.
