In the JSDK api in HttpServlet there's the method getServletContext()
which returns the current context. The ServletConext then has a method
called log(), and guess what, this is the thing you need!
It works similar to System.out.println(), the famous debugging method
for the real experienced java programmer ;-)
To make sure that you log file contains the log ouput add/change the
following in jserv.properties:
log.file=/usr/local/jserv/logs/jserv.trace
log.channel.servletLog=true <-- THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ENTRY!!!!!!
Make sure that log.file is fully qualified, otherwise you might get in
troubles.
Of course, set the log.file to what you nedd!
The other log.channel.* params are for debugging jserv itself, so maybe
you wish to disable them, but some of them are still usefull.
