Thanks much for the response Rajeev. Let me see if I can repeat and reduce it to make sure I understand the formula.
1) DataNucleus will use EITHER log4j OR java.util.logging. It never uses both. 2) DataNucleus will use log4j if it detects log4j classes on the classpath, otherwise it will use java.util.logging 3) If my app doesn't use log4j, then I can safely delete the default log4j.properties file and DataNucleus will happily use java.util.logging Is this correct?
