In V2, com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.ServerLogManager used to be
responsible for initializing the various module loggers with their log
levels specified in the <log-service> in domain.xml, and to add the
FileandSyslogHandler to them.

I believe in V3, the responsibility for doing this has been, or will be,
delegated to each individual module.

Maybe we can discuss logging at today's eng meeting? I will be joining
late, since I have a meeting conflict.

Thanks,
