Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-3: ------------------------------------------ What's the status of this issue? Is there still a desire to drop the commons logging dependency? I had a look at the places where logging is used. Some of them are unnecessary IMO. But for the following places we would need an aquivalent replacement: - ConfigurationFactory logs optional configurations that cannot be loaded. Maybe we could add a method to ConfigurationFactory that checks whether an optional configuration source could be loaded or not. - ConfigurationUtils.locate() logs the location from where a configuration file was loaded. Not sure if this makes too much sense: If a configuration has been successfully loaded, its URL can be checked. OTH it would be very useful when a configuration file could not be found to throw an exception that contains all the paths where it was searched for. However this won't be easy to implement. - JNDIConfiguration and DatabaseConfiguration swallow some exceptions and write them to the log. Here we would have to find an alternative. Maybe introduce a mode, in which such exceptions are re-thrown as runtime exceptions? > [configuration] Drop 1st class dependency on commons-logging > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CONFIGURATION-3 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-3 > Project: Commons Configuration > Type: Bug > Versions: 1.2 Final > Environment: Operating System: All > Platform: Other > Reporter: Joerg Schaible > Priority: Minor > > Currently commons-logging is reported as first class dependency in the project > reports.
