I still see no reason, why a commons-logging factory should not be able to return the container supplied logger reference to the application. like this: "Container provides application with logging facility". "Turbine starts up. Notices, that it got a logging facility from the container. Registers it". User uses "Log log = LogFactory.getLog("foo")". Commons Logging has been configured to return a log object provided by the container- provided log facility. And the user never notices that he has not a "Turbine configured log4j logging" but a "container provided enterprise logging facility". Regards Henning -- Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) Henning P.
