Ceki, this is wierd. I just discovered this "feature" myself, trying to figure out why my stand alone apps were not initializing properly and not printing debug messages. I was thinking of lobbying the commons-logging group to allow an initializer class be specified so you could write your own initialization code.
But, I am trying to figure out why, when running in stand alone mode, the default log4j initialization does not seem to work. So, until I figure that out, I'm going to keep quiet. -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Ceki Gülcü [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 3:20 PM > To: Log4J Users List > Subject: Re: all log entries being copied to catalina_out.log > > > > Here is the story. > > The commons-logging API, when it decides that you want to use log4j, > takes the liberty of configuring a ConsoleAppender (on System.Err) and > attaching it to the root logger.
