TomcatLogger

["prs05@prosa.com" <pr...@prosa.com>]

Hi everybody,
 
I recently started using this class to create my custom log for my servlets on Tomcat 3.2, but I think I didn't understand the correct usage.The only document I discovered was the javadoc HTML, so I write to this forum to get some more informations.I extended the TomcatLogger to obtain a more useful logXX method, to provide immediate flushing on the writer. Trying to call flush() direclty was not a good idea, because it generated a lot of threads exausting rapidly my system resources. I browse into the source and I see that in fact, flush() create and run a new thread(), but I didn't understand why. So I made it simpler, calling flush() on the sink member direclty. It works but I don't kwow if this is a correct usage of the logger. Another question: Does TomcatLogger provide a way to configure a logger instance completely at deploy time, with minimal code writing? 
 
Thank you in advance
