FWIW, my opinion would be go ahead and change it... unless someone can
show where it would cause trouble, I'm in the better safe than sorry
camp. I know of a number of instances where I've seen Struts installed
in a shared way, either at EAR-level or something like Tomcat's shared
libs directory... I've never heard any trouble reported from those cases
though to be fair.
I think the performance/memory implications are the only thing that
might stop you from wanting to do this... perhaps some benchmarking is
in order?

Anyway, despite the fact that Struts 1 supports only static logging, I
believe this position could be evaluated. Correct me when wrong, but the
article states that instance logging should belong in libraries that
could be shared. What if a company wants to integrate Struts or XWork
into their application server software? Perhaps a typically user
wouldn't want to share Struts libraries in the parent classloader, but
what about in J2EE server? It's just a thought.
It wouldn't be too hard to convert the static loggers.

Hehe, I know *exactly* what you mean :) Between WS and RAD, my hair
is starting to look like Bill Clinton's, but at a much younger age!
