Name log files based on Context name?

[Jesse Barnum <js...@360works.com>]

I want my log files to be written to a log file with the same name as my webapp. Users can dynamically re-name my webapp when they run my installer, so that they can have multiple instances running, so hard-coding the context name is not a good approach. Is there some environment variable that I can use in the log file?

I'd like the word "MirrorSync" to be replaced with the name of the context where this logging.properties file is loaded from (the logging.properties file is in my classes/ directory). I tried using ${context} but it just put that literal value for the log name.

My users are mostly running in Tomcat 6, with a few who have upgraded to 7.
