Thanks Dennis, I'm using Struts "out of the box" so I have no logging package in place. I have no commons-logging.properties file and nothing referring to Log4J or anything of the sort.
It seems to me that commons-logging is using the Tomcat default logging (thus it outputs to 'catalina.log'). I've gone ahead and downloaded Log4J and included the Log4J.jar file in my WEB-INF/lib directory when deploying my webapp. I've also created a commons-logging.properties file (below) that I found as an example online. ######################### # # $Id: commons-logging.properties,v 1.0 2006/06/31 14:35:33Z dhall $ # # # This file controls which logging package the Jakarta Commons Logging package # uses. This can be changed to point to any supported logging package. See # http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging for a list of supported logging # packages. # org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4jF actory ######################### However, when I try to deploy my war file in Tomcat I now get a ClassDefNotFound org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4jFactory error. On the commons-logging website, I see that Log4jFactory is deprecated and not included in commons-logging 1.1 and beyond. How do I tell commons-logging to use Log4j (or do I not tell it since it looks for it by default)?

This all depends on what underlying logging implementation that your app or Struts is using. I haven't used Struts myself, so cannot comment on how to configure Struts. The general user guide for commons-logging is here: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/commons-logging-1.1/guide.html If your app is using SimpleLog then this is the good place to look: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/apidocs/org/apache/commons/logging /impl/SimpleLog.html If your app is using JDK logging (if you are running on Java 1.4+) you should consult the documentation for the JDK. -- Dennis Lundberg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
