Best is to use Log4j for logging. It gives more control and flexibility than using the servlet logging facility.

I don't have a Java debugger, but I could do a lot of debugging if I had a command that looked like this: log("We are in this part of the code now"); I have seen documentation for a command like that, and I have tried it in my installation of Tomcat 4.0, but it doesn't send any output anywhere, so it seems useless. Is there a way to get it to work? Thanks
