I think it is nice to use Commons Logging just so you have the option of easily switching to another logging framework. You may want to use some other logging framework other than Log4J (my choice) or Jdk1.4 at some point. You won't have to change any of you code if you use Commons Logging. Struts 1.1 is going to use Commons Logging. The Struts shared source is using it as of last nights build.
