It looks like you're using one of the newer versions of Syslog. I only have
experience with an older version that did not use an XML config file.
My first guess after looking at your code is that ServletContext.getRealPath() is not
returning what you think it should. Have you tried writing this path to System.out so
you could see if it's correct?
Cheers,
Eric
