JDK Logging help

Question

Hi,
Question 1:
JDK loggings properties can be set using logging.properties file. Assume
I have written a servlet and deployed it under tomcat or any servlet engine which uses its own logging.properties. I want my servlet to use my logging.properites and don't want to interfere with tomcat's properties. How to do this? (For now tomcat is using log4j -- but if they switch how to do this)
Question 2:
My standalone program uses logging.properties which comes with JDK1.4.
No change to it.
When i use the methods logp(level,soourceClass, sourceMethod, message, object)
Everything is printed except argument. Does any one know what is the problem
Thanks,
Haneef

Answer 1

Thanks for your response.
For the second question , the log message is printed , but the parameter is not printed ( fourth parameter).
Note:
logp(level,sourceclass,method, messsge, params); is the signature of the method iam using,
except the params everything is printed.
I digged bit into the source code and
and in the MessageFormat class -- which is used for formatting
<--
} else if (formats[i] != null) {
subFormatter = formats;
--->
It is going into the above block , because by default messageformat is constructed with two formatters.
Can any one point me why the "param" is not printed .
Thanks
