If you need requests to take 2-3 days, then HTTP is not the protocol
for you. Are you accepting batch requests via HTTP and then working on
them after the request/response has completed? That would make more sense.

In any case, most logging frameworks create "Log" (or Logger) objects
that live for a long time: they aren't set up to create a Log/Logger,
use it for a bit and then discard it, since loggers tend to get used
for the life of the JVM.

I think what you want is a simple FileWriter. You can even use the
existing logging framework's log-level-checks if you want, like this:

PrintWriter out = null;

try {

  if(logger.isDebugEnabled())
     = new PrintWriter(FileWriter("/logs/job-" + jobId));

  ...

  if(null != out)
    out.println("Got an interesting value: " + interestingValue);

  ...
} finally {
  if(null != out)
    try { out.close(); }
    catch (IOException ioe) {
      logger.error("Couldn't close job log", ioe);
    }
}
