Commons Logging isn't really a logger itself. It is a framework that allows library writers (like the Struts team) to write their code without worrying what logger you will eventually use. You can use Log4j, java.util.log, a simple logger that just writes to the console, or practially any other logging system. So you need the commons-logging jar (which is very small) to support what Struts is written to, and you need log4j so that you can have a rich, extensible logging environment.
