using the Standard jdk 1.4 logging with Tomcat 5

[Paul Taylor]

Hi in a previous non Tomcat project I wrote some classes that used the 
java.util.logging library that comes with java 1.4 quite successfully. I 
am now trying to use the same classes with Toimcat 5.0 but it doesnt 
like it. With the logging classes you can provide a configuration class 
which you define with a property "java.util.logging.config.class", I put 
the class in my WEB_INF\classes with all the other classes. 

When I run with Tomcat i have a servlet that does the following to try 
and initilse the logging

 
com.appserver.util.logging.LogProperties.setLevelFromParametersFromPrefs();
 System.getProperties().setProperty("java.util.logging.config.class", 
"com.appserver.util.logging.LogProperties");
 LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration();

it complains it cant find the class, when running readConfiguration(), 
(The 1st two lines run ok). I think the problem is to do with Tomcat 
classloader, with a simple Java application the classes would be 
expected to be on the system classpath, but on Tomcat the system 
classpath only contains bootstrap.jar.

I realise I could probably get things working using Apaches log4j 
instead but it seems a bit silly to use that when there is a perfectly 
adequate logger built into the language now.

Anyone done this ?
