Yep, that seems sensible. Personally I'm fine with having the utility class in framework, but I'm sceptical about commons logging for two reasons: 1. The whole thing is tied to classloaders and their hierarchy. Given what the people at JBoss are experimenting with (replacing the CL tree with a lattice) I think this is *begging* for trouble. 2. I agree with Paul Hammant that logging at the level of reusable beans is overkill - what if Java had been written that way, with logging in String and StringBuffer? One could argue that we, as a framework, should support as much as possible, and therefore I'm fine with the utility class. But I'm strongly against a *dependency* on commons-logging, as opposed to merely supporting it (as we do with Log4J). /LS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
