----------------------------------------

Looks good to me. I've committed this patch (with a couple of extra checks for 
null causes).
Thanks very much for your contribution.

SVN commit: 476772 (LogFactoryImpl), 476774 (Log4JLogger).

Could you please check that this works fine for you?

Yes, thank you.

I noticed some small differences between my patch and your commits, was it just a matter of code formatting conventions, or did I do something wrong? Asking just in case.

Also, the "// note - it still works with log4j 1.3.8-alpha" comment was removed? I know it wasn't strictly a part of this enhancement, but isn't it worth mentioning, especially since Log4j 1.3 is in .7 - .8 alpha for a long time now and probably will be for some time?

Note for others: InvocationTargetException.getTargetException and 
ExceptionInInitializerError.getException both exist in jdk1.2.2 (supported 
platform for JCL).

Small patch to make debugging easier

                Key: LOGGING-111
                URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGGING-111
            Project: Commons Logging
         Issue Type: Improvement
   Affects Versions: 1.1.1
        Environment: Commons-Logging + Log4j
           Reporter: Lilianne E. Blaze

During the last few days I had major problems trying to configure 
Commons-Logging + Log4j on Glassfish.
It turned out to be related to Log4j UDPAppender, but it took me needlessly 
long time to verify the problem was indeed in Log4j and not in Commons-Logging, 
Glassfish or something else. Now, why am I posting it here then - I made a 
small modification which logs Log4j failures more precisely, instead of just:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Could not instantiate Log 
'org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger' -- 
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: null
which explains, basically, nothing, you get for example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Could not instantiate Log 
'org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger' -- 
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: null
[EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... InvocationTargetException: 
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: null
[EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... ExceptionInInitializerError: 
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Property layout must be set for UDPAppender 
named appenderLocalhostUdp
which states clearly that Log4j was indeed loaded, and the problem was in its 
configuration.
All it does is expand those two exceptions if they occurred. It could be more 
general and more elegant, but this code should work in pre-1.4 Java.
Could you please include it in next build of Commons-Logging?
