Re: [Logging] Using Commons Logging With JDK 1.1

[Sam Berlin]

FYI, our need is more of a "it has to exist without erroring" on 1.1.8 
as opposed to "it has to run and log useful information".  I was able to 
hack this into the source by adding two constants into LogFactory:

   private static final boolean JAVA_118 =
       
System.getProperties().getProperty("java.version").startsWith("1.1.8");
      
   private static final Log EMPTY_LOG =
       new org.apache.commons.logging.impl.EmptyLogger();    // a new 
class i added that does basically nothing

and in the LogFactory.getLog() method checking JAVA_118 and returning 
EMPTY_LOG.  I had attempted all sorts of other maneuvers, such as 
creating a new 'Action' interface, adding a new runPrivileged method, 
and only doing the contents of the Action within a PrivilegedAction if 
the runtime wasn't 1.1.8 -- but for whatever reason, the classloaders on 
Mac Classic refused to allow that to work, insisting that the anonymous 
PrivilegedAction class be loaded (causing a NoClassDefFoundError).

Thanks,
Sam

Sam you're asking in the right place alright.  One of the 'Logging'

Is there perhaps another place I should be asking this question?

Helllo Everyone,

I am attempting to incorporate commons-logging into LimeWire 
(www.limewire.org).  We support Mac Classic, and thus must support 
Java 1.1.8.  It appears as though the commons-logging requires 
Java2, despite comments in the code that reference 1.1 support (such 
as the catching of NoSuchMethodException within 
LogFactory.getContextClassLoader).  The depenency on 1.2 is because 
of the use of java.security.PrivilegedAction and 
java.security.AccessController in multiple classes.

Is the Java2 requirement an oversight, or by design?  Is there a 
fork somewhere that supports 1.1.8?

Thank you in advance, and my apologies for asking a question 
immediately after joining the list.

Thanks,
 Sam
