I guess I forgot to answer your second question. The answer to it is
found in the Javadoc for InitContextListener. You don't reference
just one single system property for all apps. System properties are
named for the name of the context of the application. For instance,
for an application context called "myapp", you would create a system
property called "myapp.log.home". For an application named
"myotherapp", you'd create a system property called
"myotherapp.log.home". What my code does is, at application startup,
look up the name of the context and append ".log.home" to it to
create the system property name and then looks up the file system
location of the app. You can override this dynamic path in web.xml
(or server-specific descriptor, such as context.xml in Tomcat). By
default, the path would be in a "logs" directory under the WEB-INF
directory of your webapp (assuming it is deployed as an exploded archive).
Please read the Javadoc I pointed to previously for an explanation of
all of this.
