What you want to use is the Logger instance that is defined for
this context via your server.xml
From a servlet,
getServletContext().log("theMessage");

The catalina_log file is the Logger element under the "Catalina"
element.
The localhost_log is the Logger element under "localhost" Host
element.
The localhost_examples_log is the Logger element under the
"examples" Context element.
All of these rotate daily (hence the date in the name). These
can be inherited. See also
