Hi Brian; I am not experienced enough with this package to really help.
I can say that don't have a commons-logging.properties file in my classes directory, only my log4j.properties. Maybe try running your application again without this file? You may be able to get more ideas from this list: http://java2.5341.com/ Luke > Thats the same approach im using.
