Thank you for the tip, this is definitely working and is not too ugly.
However I still find a little bit stupid we have to create a new Servlet just to use
its init method. Or maybe not if your Log4j servlet allows you to modify the logging /
the log4j properties remotely (but that is another project, and it is bad not to use
struts for that).
I tried just to extend the ActionServlet and rewrite the init method (adding lines to
it). After modifying the web.xml, it still did not work. Has anyone a clue why? Did
anybody try to extend ActionServlet?
