That would work. So you could either set the impl config file location via the property in commons-logging.properties, or by calling the LogFactoryImpl.configure( String ) method I proposed. | > One other idea is to define a new Common-Logging config file format. | > LogFactory concrete impls would then map the Common-Logging | format to their | > own config format in order to initialize. | Nice idea. The same format would work across multiple impls. Would | this be able to define all of the features of arbitrary impls?
