To all who are having problems with the default SimpleLog in
commons-logging:
Instead of the hack I mentioned a few months ago (I have since messed around
with this a lot more), the following works more reliably.
1) Make sure you have the latest commons-logging.jar in your /WEB-INF/lib
directory. (Actually, if you're having the problem in the first place then
you probably <do> have the latest commons-logging.jar)
2) Create a commons-logging.properties file in your /WEB-INF/conf directory
that reads:
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger
3) Copy the commons-logging.properties file to your /WEB-INF/classes
directory (this can be put into ant to copy automagically)
(optional 4) Patch the Turbine.java file with the following (this removes
Log deprecation warnings):
Index: Turbine.java
