This isn't necessarily app-server independent, but you can probably can take
advantage of variable substitution in the config file.  Log4j can substitute
system property values into the log4j config file using the Ant-like syntax
(${<system properties>}), so if your app server puts deployment-specific
information into system variables (Weblogic does), then you can use them.

Is it really necessary to do it in a totally app-server independent manner?
It's just a matter of changing the config file.  Are you running a
heterogenous set of J2EE servers?

Another question is "How, in an app-server independent way, can I make my
web app HTMLLayout log files available through the web app itself? 

It would seem that I would need to write the log to a file located under the
web app docroot, but I don't know how to specify such a location in the
log4j.xml file.
