Bill,
I do just that, i.e. open the log file for writing in the init() method of a
dumb servlet that gets preloaded at startup. I pick up the path/filename of
the log file from a context-param which I set in web.xml (and override in
orion-web.xml if necessary).
A better way to do all this would be to use log4j, but I haven't had a
chance to look into it in any depth.
Hope this helps,
Attila
