Did you check the Java System properties? Just find out the PID of the running Glassfish via "jps" and displays the current properties using "jinfo <PID>". Then you will find the property name for the current instance:
$ jinfo -sysprops 32465|grep com.sun.aas
...
com.sun.ass.domainName = domain1

Did you check SLF4J? They also have a java.util.logging (JUL) bridge deployable as Glassfish custom log handler.
