I wasn't sure if it was good to encourage someone using another classes logger because it might make the logs harder to read and control. So I didn't add access for the logger. And you do still have access to the servlet log.
I agree with Craig. I think it is good form to define your own logger so you can control log levels and loggers/appenders based package names. It works out very nicely. You can have a master log, all org.apache.struts go to another, and have your source log one too (or whatever you want). David --- "Craig R.
