For Tomcat deployments, environment variables can be set in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml. I suspect that it exists to solve this problem.

Commons logging Log4j java.util.Logger All have pretty much the exact same functionality. Since it's now available, why doesn't everyone just use java.util.Logger now? When last did anyone need to support Java 1.3 for a beta delivery of Xindice? In addition, since xindice is now deployed as a war file embedded in Tomcat, and by default has enough logging enabled to make a sailor blush, or at least to severaly impact performance, it seems a better solution to logging is required. There is no way to specify env variables to a war deployment, unless you write your own deployment descriptor and do a custom servlet deployment, which is a real pain in the ... Hint to Xindice gods: Tune logging to be a bit quieter in the deliveries, and if people require, they can manually set it a bit higher.
