Did you happen to try something with sl4j ? That would be my first try : get all application logging to sl4j and then manage it as I want. I don't even know if it is possible at all, and you will probably have to touch the web app to replace the libraries used by sl4j bridge. I'm also greatly interested if you find something usable. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
