Thanks for the help!!!

But can you be a little more specific regarding the method like
setLogging()??

Another approach is to write the initialization servlet to work both
at initialization and when invoked as a normal application servlet.

I did this by writing the init method as:
    public void init() {
        locateConfigFile();  // establishes the String containing the
fully qualified config file name
        setLogging();        // loads the config file with
PropertyConfigurator
    } // .. init()

and the "normal" servlet methods as:
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest  request,
                      HttpServletResponse response)
                throws ServletException, IOException
    {
        doService(request, response);
    }

    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest  request,
                       HttpServletResponse response)
                throws ServletException, IOException
    {
        doService(request, response);
    }

    private void doService(HttpServletRequest request,
                           HttpServletResponse response)
                 throws ServletException, IOException
    {
        // other code for determining where to dispatch to
        setLogging();
        // dispatching code
    }

Then the servlet can be used to reconfigure logging upon demand when
invoked as a normal part of the application - I use it as part of the
admin functions.

I hope this helps.

Maybe PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch helps you.
