Chris:
If it helps any, a quick trick I've used with JServ is to write to
System.err - that goes in the error_log file in the logs directory. Can't
find System.out anywhere, and you're right, the log doesn't seem to write
either, at least not the way I have things set up. I went with your approach
here, extending the standard logging.
