yes it would be nice if there configuration could be easier because all applications used the same logging framework, but i see no reason to assume that every other application people are using is using commons-logging ... jdk logging is simple and standardized: it is by definition included in every java 1.5 servlet container in existence because it is by definiteion included in every java 1.5 jvm ... i can't really see a reason to change a lot of code to use a logging framework that *adds* a new dependency. -Hoss
