Contribution: Log4jServlet

[Jochen Wiedmann]

Hi,

attached you find the sources for a contribution I would like to see in the
log4j distribution. It is a servlet running as an Appender.

The basic idea is that log files are sometimes very hard to access. In
particular this holds true in production environments. The servlet gives
you access to the log files like this:

   1.) Open browser window and enter the servlets URL. Note, that
       proper authentication is required. The servlets assumes that the
       method isAuthenticated(String pUsername, String pPassword) be
       overridden.

   2.) Open a second browser window and perform your actions. Logging
       output is displayed in the first window.

   3.) Once your debugging session is done, close the first window. This
       detaches the appender from the log4j environment. Likewise, you
       will be detached in case of inactivity. (Timeout is configurable
       as a request parameter.)
