What I'm saying is that you should take full control over the initialization (and destruction) of the logging system. Your ServletContextListeners should be invoked before your servlet classes are loader. > Unfortunately, I've just about given up on it being possible to > make logging work "right" without a ServletContextListener. Man oh > man did I want to avoid that... You act like a ServletContextListener is some evil hack that should be avoided at all costs. Instead, it's exactly the right mechanism to do what you are trying to do: configure something at webapp launch and de-configure it when the webapp is stopped. Some things just aren't appropriate to do with @Annotations.
