Hello Edwin,

The chapter on logging separation [1] should be helpful, in particular the section entitled "Taming static references in shared libraries".

I've got 4 web applications.  They all have some specific code containing log statements

I want each of those 4 applications to have their own log file.  That is, I 
want all log messages for webapp 1 to appear in webapp 1's log file, messages 
for webapp2 in webapp 2's file and so on.

This is not a problem for the log statements appearing in the code specific to 
each webapp.

But what about log statements in de common "backend" codebase (included by each of the 
webapps) ?  How do those log statements "know" when log statements should go to webapp 
1's logfile or webapp 2's log file ?  Because that depends on where the calling  thread initiated 
(in webapp1, 2, ...).
I could augment each of my backend method signatures with a extra context 
parameter, but I hope there are more transparent solutions ?

User =>  methodA Webapp1 =>  backend codebase methodX =>  webapp1.log
User =>  methodB Webapp2 =>  backend codebase method =>  webapp2.log
...

Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks,
EDH
