Unfortunately, if you are going to use the default PARENT_FIRST mode, you will need to put log4j and commons-logging.properties where commons-logging.jar can find them. If commons-logging.jar is a server-level library, then that's where all the jars have to go (at least with commons-logging's autodiscovery).
This might have changed with recent release candidates of commons-logging-1.1. I know they vastly improved the discovery process and the classloading quirks, but I can't say that I've tried it myself yet. http://cvs.apache.org/repository/commons-logging/jars/ If you only required Log4j, you'd have no problem. Simply use a repository selector and it doesn't matter where log4j is. You'd be logging to your own logger repository regardless of whether log4j is shared amongst multiple applications or not. With commons-logging in the mix, it becomes difficult. Jake Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > > Whoever set up the framework of the app I'm working on did so using Commons > Logging pointing at Log4j.
