Ahh - it's been a while since doing this stuff so I'm a bit rusty.
Was rather obvious - but I was off round the houses trying to find something
wrong elsewhere.
Thanks for the help.

I just looked back at his example. Indeed, it's not within a method. I
guess I just took for granted that logging was being done inside a method
because, well, where else would you do it? Then again, try/catch has to
be within a method or a static block as well, and that's where he said he
was finally able to get logging working. Hmm.... Strange.
