> In line 374 of LogFactoryImpl.java getClassLoader() is called:
> logInterface = this.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass(LOG_INTERFACE);
> However, the docs for getClassLoader() state that some implementations may use
> null to return the system classloader.  This occurs under CrEme a JVM for the
> PocketPC platform which some of our products run under, causing a null pointer
> exception.  Perhaps it would be better to change line 374 to read:
> logClass = loadClass(LOG_INTERFACE);
> which seems to solve the problems I have been having.  At any rate calls to
> getClassLoader() should be checked to ensure that they haven't returned null.
> In addition the error that I got:
> org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException:
> org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException:
> java.lang.NullPointerException (Caused by java.lang.NullPointerException)
> (Caused by org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException:
> java.lang.NullPointerException (Caused by java.lang.NullPointerException))
> Certianly wasnt very helpfull for figuring out what is going on.
