The commons-logging.properties file should be placed in the WEB-INF/classes directory. As far as manually stating its location I haven't tried this but I understand that you can specify a custom logging properties file by using system property on the command line similar to:
java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=mylogging.properties <class> I can't answer to item 2 I am using the jdk14logger and then using the java default logging.properties to turn on/off levels of debugging. My commons-properties file is what specifies my implementation.

(I currently just want to log to stderr, so the simplelog that comes with commons-logging will do.) (1) Where should the logging "properties" files be placed--within the "lib" directory, or in the "classes" directory? If I need to manually state its location, where do I do so within a Struts web app? (2) Just to confirm, here are my simplelog parameters I wish to set: org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.defaultlog=debug org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showdatetime=true These parameters should go in the simplelog.properties file, *not* the commons-logging.properties file--the latter is just for identifying the underlying implementation chosen (log4j, simplelog, j2se 1.4, etc.)--correct?
