One way is to store a file named "commons-logging.properties" in your WEB-INF/classes directory, with the following approximate contents:
org.apache.commons.logging.Log = org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog This example sets the logger in use to the "SimpleLog", but you can also use these (which are in the same package as "SimpleLog": Jdk14Logger Log4JCategoryLog LogKitLogger NoOpLog Each one of these has different ways to configure themselves. > -----Original Message----- > From: Wendy Cameron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 2:46 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: Commons-logging and JDK 1.4 Logger > > > So how do you configure commons logging to use the logging > tool of your choice? > > I thought if you use apache's logging scheme you are then > locked into apache's logging functionality. > > Regards Wendy > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Eddie Bush [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 9:47 AM > > To: Struts Users Mailing List > > Subject: Re: Commons-logging and JDK 1.4 Logger > > > > > > Mazza, Glen R., ,CPMS wrote: > > > > >Hello, > > > > > >I am thinking of using the JDK 1.4 Logging API directly > > within some of my > > >web application classes.
