Hi, Laird.
You're correct that the logging config for the app client container - and therefore the app clients that run within it - comes from the sun-acc.xml for clients started with the appclient command. For clients launched using Java Web Start the default logging config is used. I've been looking at ways of having Java Web Start launches use the sun-acc.xml settings as well.
Have you tried programmatically creating your own logger and setting its value from the client logic? I have not tried this experiment but I looked at the ACC logging logic briefly and I did not see anything that should cause problems. But I may not have looked closely enough.
If you feel strongly that there should be some other way to deal with this please file an RFE so we can track it.
Thanks.
