Glassfish seems to have a good LogManager implementation. I evaluated it's
logging wrt virtual hosts and found it easy to configure each host with a
different logging configuration. I imagine the same thing would be available
for a per-webapp basis, although someone more familiar with glassfish might
like to comment on that.
The LogManager implementation is one of the main reasons I want to move from
Tomcat to Glassfish.
