There is actually a way round this, if you have the host set to liveDeploy
then
dropping an *.xml file (see contents below) inside the 'appBase' directory
will get round this limitation. Tomcat uses the contents to configure and
deploy a webapp
(including the logging).
I haven't tested it but you can set the privileged attribute to true, it
would certainly
have security implications if you're on a shared machine.
<Context path="/test" docBase="/tmp/test/WEB-INF" privileged="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="testlog." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true" debug="true"/>
</Context>
