No, I'm talking about running LogWeb against Log4j-1.3 at runtime, not compiling LogWeb against 1.3. LogWeb was compiled against 1.2.xx and run against 1.3. I'm not saying this is the end-all-be-all test of runtime compatibility, but it does seem to work against an application, LogWeb, that hits a lot of Log4j's api. I suggest you either wait for Mark to cut a new alpha (I think he said he was going to do it tonight or, at least, very soon) or build it yourself and verify whether my statements are correct. > >BTW, and I haven't yet looked, but did SLF4J add TRACE?

Seems like a small sacrifice to make in order to ease the transition from JCL to SLF4J.
