> So how do you configure commons logging to use the logging tool of your choice?
Create a commons-logging.properties file and define the following property org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory example org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JCategory Log If the implementation is log4j, you have to define the configuration of log4j independent of the commons logging configuration. Check out the jakarta site for more info. - Shravan I thought if you use apache's logging scheme you are then locked into apache's logging functionality.
