Thank you for some direction.

I'll go ahead and put back the logging as it was from the vendor using the
logging.properties file, etc. etc. so as to minimize their lack of support
due to me changing a lot in their product.

Then I'll go on to try option b.

I'll report back with how it goes.

Yup, that's the one. Just add the swallowOutput setting and restart the
web application. (Or restart Tomcat if that's easier for you.)

No, you wouldn't have to use log4j at all. JULI can do log-rotation as
well, though the options aren't as nice as log4j. Log4j is a really
great logging system, actually.
