Christoph, I think there may be a little delay with the mailing list. The problem is solved. For reference, yes, I too have the commons-logging-api.jar in the bin directory! Wonder why it was put there - that seems a little inconsistent, but I don't know enough about Tomcat to judge the matter.
Putting a breakpoint in the source would have been a good and thorough approach - I will try that next time!
