RE: Logging inside filters...

Minor correction:

In the example below, target.getServer().getLogger() doesn't work because=
 there is no getLogger method on ServerInterface, you need to cast it to =
the httpd class to get the actual instance of the logger.

Hope this helps,
Brian

From LogFilter:

            FramedResource target =3D (FramedResource) getTargetResource(=
);
            if (target !=3D null) {
                String msg =3D ("IO error while writing to log file \""+
                              ex.getMessage() + "\".");
                target.getServer().errlog(this, msg);
            }

You can get the Logger object with target.getServer().getLogger() and the=
n
use the usual method on it.
