my problem isn't the creation of the LogOutputStream but the writing to it:

try{
 logger.error(logMessage);
} catch(Exception e){
     e.printStackTrace( );
     System.out.prinltn(e);
}

but unfortunately the logger.error() method doesn't throw an Exception, 
even if weblogic can't write any more to the weblogic.log (e.g. disc full)

thanks
