I guess this doesn't answer the question then, because my question was
specific to Struts 1.1 and had nothing to do with Struts 1.0. Logging
changed quite a bit between 1.0.x and 1.1b.
We used log4j in our Struts 1.0 applications, but I want to make sure that
log4j has all the proper categories and everything for 1.1b.
We haven't been able to get a Struts 1.1b application running in our
development environment (JBuilder 6) and it's giving messages about
logging problems, so I want to make sure I have it setup properly.
Thanks anyway
Jay
