Working with shared hosting on 5.5 - logging options?

[Josh McDonald <jo...@joshmcdonald.info>]

Hey guys,

I'm working for the first time with a client that requires I deliver a .war,
and it gets deployed into a shared environment where I have no control and
can't get access to the logs. What can I do from within my .war file to get
a local copy of logs related to my application only redirected to a file
that I do have access to? I'd like to be able to get startup / shutdown logs
specific to my app as well as application logs if possible.

Any thoughts? I find documentation for logging very hard to find online if
you want to do anything remotely out of the ordinary.

Any pointers much appreciated!

-Josh
