log4j in custom tags

[Andreas Leitner]

I want to use log4j from within a custom tag. Now, since the custom tag
will be instanciated from the jasper JVM, the logj4 properties file of
the webapp will of course not be used to setup log4j.

How can I configure log4j in a custom tag to use the same log-writer
than my web app - or how can I configure it at all to redirect output to
a certain file? It does not seem to go into the jasper.log (which I have
configured in sever.xml to be the log target for jasper)


Many thanks in advance,
Andreas
