Hmm..websphere has its own *LogFactory* implementation? I knew it was
theoretically possible but didn't know anyone actually did that.
Your problem is almost certainly unrelated to commons-digester. It would
be good to verify that, though, so I suggest that you write a trivial
class that simply does
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
...
private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog("dummy.category");
You should then get the same problem. Assuming you do, you should then
contact your websphere support about this, as:
(a) it's not related to digester, and
(b) as websphere is providing a custom and proprietory LogFactory
implementation there's very little that anyone here can do to diagnose
any problems with it.
You might want to read the commons-logging wiki
(http://wiki.apache.org); problems to do with classloading are not
uncommon. But the advice there is always assuming the standard
LogFactory is used; with a custom (and unknown one) the behaviour can be
very different.
