Christopher,
1) :-)
2) I'll definitely try it. It looks like it's worth the effort (and as
a reward for yours).
3) I have a question in the text below
4) If it works, this has got to go on the WiKi

I think you can get this effect by:
1. Setting <Context swallowOutput="true"
2. Configure a context logger in logging.properties like this:
handlers = ...., crappyWebAppHandler
crappyWebAppHandler.level=FINE
crappyWebAppHandler.directory=mychoice
crappyWebAppHandler.prefix=mychoicetoo
# not sure about suffix
# Next is all on one line:
org.apache.catalina.code.ContainerBase.[ServiceName].[hostname].[/contextName].handlers=crappyWebAppHandler
# done with all-on-one-line
Q : are the above [things] litteral, or meant to be replaced by the
respective values ?
Qbis : by the way, and I know you're probably going to object to this,
but is there something above stopping me from directing that to a pipe
on the filesystem, where I pick it up with an external rotatelog or
something ?
I'm not sure if JULI/Tomcat-JULI/whatever supports rotation directly,
but at least it's not using shell-redirection at this point. If you want
to step-into the log4j world (totally worth it!), you can use log4j's
rotation capabilities, which I highly recommend.
No, I don't want to learn log4j. It looks too much like lifelong
dedication is needed, just like Java (*). I am not an intensive Java
programmer. I'm an intensive Perl programmer. I kind of like Java to
look at. And I try to keep a veneer of knowledge about it and Tomcat,
just to keep these younguns in meetings from thinking they can impress
me into submission.
(*) Actually, it's not the Java language itself, which is quite simple
and elegant. But it's that in order to do anything at all in that
language, you first need to become familiar with dozens of class
hierarchies.
I would even add a couple of additional optional attributes
blackHole="true"
crappWebAppHandler.level=SEVERE (or whatever)
when="rightnow"
Uh... bin/shutdown.sh && sleep 5000 && bin/startup.sh ??
