I want my log files to be written to a log file with the same name as my =
webapp. Users can dynamically re-name my webapp when they run my =
installer, so that they can have multiple instances running, so =
hard-coding the context name is not a good approach. Is there some =
environment variable that I can use in the log file?

I'd like the word "MirrorSync" to be replaced with the name of the =
context where this logging.properties file is loaded from (the =
logging.properties file is in my classes/ directory). I tried using =
${context} but it just put that literal value for the log name.

My users are mostly running in Tomcat 6, with a few who have upgraded to =
7.
