What application server do you use?

Being no logging expert it's hard for me to understand what your 
approach is about.

The only idea / hint I have is that Solr uses slf4j and therefore (and 
also for some other reasons) OpenCms is shipped with
- slf4j-api-1.7.1.jar,
- slf4j-log4j12-1.7.1.jar and
- log4j-1.2.15.jar
libraries. Maybe this link will lend you a hand:
