hihi Henner, finally! found the problem: in ConfigServlet the initXMLValidator() function should comment the following: // Map the commons-logging used by commons-validator to Log4J logger try { System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.Log", "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JCategoryLog"); } catch (java.security.AccessControlException e) { logCat.warn("Unable map commons-logging to Log4j, due to SecurityManager", e); } i had no idea that you could even do something like this. System.setProperty() overrided everything else i tried. and this statement does not depend on any import packages since it is just using hard-coded strings so it avoided my initial mass commenting out all log statements attempts. i'm not sure if other servlet containers will run into the same problem. it depends on how the classloading is designed for the container. maybe it is better to comment out this part of the code. because each web application deployed to a servlet container should be transparent to any of the other web applications already installed. once it was commented out, my whole Tomcat world was happy again. :) all my other web apps were not disturbed by the DbForms web app anymore. and i had DbForms logging activated with the log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar deployed to the WEB-INF/lib folder. woodchuck ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
