I've just made the following changes to the log tags:-

* The log tags now do not initialise log4j themselves. You can do this
yourself using your own mechanism, via a log4j Servlet or by putting a
log4j.properties file in WEB-INF/classes. I use the latter approach in the
example web app as I find it easier.
* Optimised the tags so that the body is not evaluated if log4j has the
logging category or priority disabled.


* Added new <log:fatal> tag for support for the FATAL level of log4j logging



The first change is the most relevant. If you take a look at the latest
example web application, you'll see it puts a log4j.properties file in the
WEB-INF/classes. You can do the same and edit this file to write to whatever
file destination you wish.

James
