The big problem with commons-logging is that, if you have it in application-server-wide library, you need to put the real implementation of the logger in the server. This means also a single configuration. SLF4j uses a different approach: it uses an API and an implementation, bound at compile time. This way you can compile correctly your code, but the configuration can stay in your app without interfering with the rest of the server. However, it seems that MyFaces folks are switching to java.util.logging. Should we? Isn't it "too simple"? Antonio
