Interop with Log4j

[Chris Haddad]

Axis-dev -

I'm attempting to use the main branch log4j code to obtain
log4j.appender.SyslogAppender functionality (a file not in
log4j-core.jar), but I'm running into an interop issue with Axis.   

Can the main branch versions of the two libraries to work together?  If
not, is there a good fallback position?

When I perform a checkout and compile of the latest (main-branch)
Jakarta-log4j code and attempt to use the resultant jar file with Axis,
I receive a runtime exception.


To replicate, checkout log4j, compile, then drop the log4j-1.2alpha7.jar
into the /lib directory.  A run of the Axis build through invocation of
'ant dist' will fail on the first functional-test. Here's the failure
message:


    <failure message="Exception in constructor: testReverseString
(java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

        at org.apache.axis.AxisEngine.&lt;clinit&gt;(Unknown Source)

        at test.RPCDispatch.TestRPC.&lt;init&gt;(Unknown Source)

        at test.RPCDispatch.PackageTests.suite(Unknown Source)

        at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method)



If I swap out the log4j.jar for only the distributed log4j-core.jar, all
is well.

Thanks for your help,

/Chris
