Steve - i'm still not clear why log4j is the only jar we distribute with a version number tacked onto the end. Irregardless, the class is found even if the jar is named something else. the jarname in the check was chosen because that is the name of the jarfile distributed with Axis. i'd be much happier if the jarfile was renamed back to log4j-core.
there is a check for commons-logging which works, but the Axis servlet will still fail to load if log4j is not loadable. /Chris On Wed, 1 Jan 2003, Steve Loughran wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 22:19 > Subject: cvs commit: xml-axis/java/webapps/axis happyaxis.jsp > > > > > + needed+=needClass(out, "org.apache.log4j.Layout", > > + "log4j-1.2.4.jar", > > + "Log4j", > > + "Axis may not work", > > + "http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j"); > > 1.
