Thanks for reviewing it!

I didn't initialize log4j in the application because it seems likely to
me that log4j configuration would be defined within the web container or
JVM.  I'm not sure exactly what the normal way of addressing this is,
but I have found that default initialization is pretty convenient -
unless you turn it on, you aren't flooded with messages.

I'm relatively new to log4j, so if there is a better way of configuring
it that sill plays nice with other log4j users in the
jvm/container/webapp, I'd like to hear about it :-)

If you would like that message to go away (and be replaced with a
barrage of info and debug statements), define the log4j.configuration
property:

set
CATALINA_OPTS=-Dlog4j.configuration=file:/path/to/maverick/tools/log4j.p
roperties

The included log4j.properties just dumps everything to the console.

I'm sure this is going to be a FAQ :-)

Yup, and the early-access version of the "JSP Standard Tag Library" that
it uses is probably no speed demon either.

The JSP taglib is *very* unstable (ok, it's not even in beta) and the
features I need to make this work (in a manner suitable for an example)
are horribly broken.  Rather than putting scriptlet code in the page, I
just disabled the feature.  Unfortunately this seems to be the only
general-purpose taglib available that supports an expression language
:-(

Oops, forgot about that :-)  Fixed now.

Thanks!
