No, that would not mean you can't use AccessLogValve (note the Valve i=
n
the name, as opposed to Logger ;)), because it's not a Logger.  That's=
 a
bit counter-intuitive, I know, but you can use the AccessLogValve if y=
ou
wish.

Yes and no.  Tomcat 5.0 does NOT offer more Logger options.  The Servl=
et
Spec doesn't require containers to offer fancy logging options,
thankfully, and we don't see a need to reinvent the wheel.  We encoura=
ge
apps to use a real logging toolkit like log4j or JDK logging instead o=
f
ServletContext#log and System.out.

Tomcat 5.5 eliminates Loggers altogether.  We use commons-logging, so
you would plug in a logging toolkit like log4j and JDK 1.4 logging,
which you can configure however you want for rollovers and log file
naming.  So you can say Tomcat 5.5 fixes this.  But it's not ready for=

production IMHO, so that doesn't fit your bill for now.
