That's exactly what i asking. How should we integrate with eXist
logging. I think there is a logging dir and yes it makes some sense to
have a log just for xforms logging as it can be quite verbose when you
try to find issues in a complex form.

An xslt to merge our log4j into eXists' make sense - we did the same
for the web.xml already. But we also need to adapt our code as we
initialize our logging in XFormsFilter. Think that probably an issue
and must be suppressed? Shouldn't be hard to add a config option for
that.
