write java log to spool directly without CICS TDQ

currently , customer can redirect java log to spool, but user has to define TDQ and TDQ JCICS call is used. which is inconvenient and performance is bad. Customer want JVMSERVER in CICS can write log to spool directly without CICS TDQ.
Customer said was for z/OS can do this. JVMSERVER in CICS should do the same thing
