I agree completely and vehemently with Tom. Please don't go backwards,
in deployed systems it must be as easy as possible to turn trace output
on and off. Recompiling application code is not even an option,
recompiling your app server just to turn on trace is something that just
can't happen.

Please put this back. Please. Better yet, make it configurable from JMX.
