Well, I guess the issue is that when we use log4j, we manually configure it, but when Commons uses log4j, it hasn't been manually configured by us, so I was wondering if there was a way for Commons Logging to pass our manual configs on to Log4j when Commons initializes it.
I'm going to look into the wrapper like Jörg suggested. Any other ideas?

Commons logging does not try to find configuration files for log4j. That job is left to log4j to do. So I guess asking on one of the mailing lists for logging.apache.org would give you better results. From what I can tell by your description the question you want to ask them is "How can we make a custom configuration handler for log4j?" -- Dennis Lundberg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
