Answering my own mail, it seems Log is loaded twice, once during init ( and it may be related with my setup, as I have few log uses in the startup code ), and then it is loaded again from the webapp loader, but this time it's a different instance ( due to reverse order ). And somehow the check for assignment happens with the original Log instance.
If this is correct - we can either make commons-logging(-api) a special case, or make sure it is not used in any code from the common loader ( the use from the container loader should be ok ). I love ClassLoaders :-) Costin Costin Manolache wrote: > This time I have problems with commons-logging.
