How can I fetch the web application (context) at runtime?

["dB." <db...@dblock.org>]

I am trying to write a log4j appender that can put the application name in the log filename (I want a log per web application, without knowing the names of all the web applications upfront).

Is there a way to access the context / container / some variable that can give me the name of the web application (or something else unique per web application) at runtime from a far-reaching piece of code? I'd be happy with a solution that works only with a specific version of Tomcat (6).

Thx
dB.

That would be a question for the users list.
