Allow GeoServer to play well in a container that controls logging
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-1671
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1671
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: WMS
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0-RC2
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
             Fix For: 1.7.0-beta1

GeoServer does not seem to play well in a container environment that wants to control logging (because GS wants to control it as well).

We should have ways to tell GeoServer to relinquish logging control to the environment, I'm envisaging three different logging modes:
* pure java logging (controlled by the system wide property file or by the container)
* pure log4j logging (controlled by the container or by a user adding a lo4j.properties file in web-inf/classes)
* geoserver controlled logging (as it is now).

This is probably something we want to add in web.xml and/or in an env variable, not sure about gs configuration itself (maybe).
