ack! .. you are right, i missed some... like in ConnectionFactory the log object variable is called just "cat".... this time i will comment all import statements of commons log: import org.apache.commons.logging.Log; import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory; and also search for all occurrences of LogFactory and check manually to make sure any static log variables are commented out (i found some that i missed because of spacing differences). i will compile again and see. but to answer your question, using the unmodified DbForms.jar my application would not work if i placed the log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar in my_app/WEB-INF/lib folder. the Tomcat console would display Exceptions forever like an endless loop and i had to kill Tomcat (5.5.9 is the version i'm using). the only solution was to place log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar into ${Tomcat}/common/lib. only after doing this would the errors go away and DbForms work properly. but placing these 2 jars in common/lib effects all other web applications deployed on the same Tomcat instance. i have many other web apps deployed that do not use log4j logging, and this has caused the JCL (plain Jakarta Commons Logging which uses JDK logging) logging to stop working... because it sees Log4J and just assumes this is the logging system for everything because it is in common/lib. woodchuck ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
