The commons-logging.jar file packaged with axis (as an external dependency) is NOT official... it contained code changes that, until recently, were not committed. So.... I included the source code to ensure that (if needed) someone in the AXIS community could fix anything that I broke. Bottom line: I didn't want to put a binary file into AXIS CVS that couldn't be recreated.
When the newest version of the commons-logging is released (1.1, 2.0?), then I will replace the commons-logging.jar file with the "official" one. Note also that the required changes are now committed in commons-logging, so I COULD do a cleaner build. <ras> ******************************************* Richard A.
