Hi, would it be possible to modify the logging framework, so that the commons-logging Log class isn't used anymore throughout the entire axis distribution, but only in -say- the org.apache.axis.compontents.logging.Log class? So you get a more loosely coupled logging framework, instead of a lock-in. In other words, use an interface components.logging.Log and an implementation that might (or not) use commons-logging..... In this way one can build Axis without commons-logging. This is a requirement if you want to use JBoss (3.2.5/6), it fails at the moment when using commons-logging and scoped deployment.
